Water Water Everywhere

Well as many of you know water is a big issue in the heartland of Pennsylvania today. The state is drenched from a sub-tropical system feeding moisture into a corrider spreading across the center of the state.

All I hope for is that we don't get so bad that FEMA gets involved. If they do, run for the hills. FEMA and water disasters don't have a good history together so let's all hope some sunshine returns quickly.

Perhaps the politicos in Harrisburg will donate some of their pay raise to relief organizations helping those citizens who are already suffering losses from the streams and rivers overflowing in the affected parts of the state. I hear that Schuylkill County got hit very hard. In a poor county (destined to stay that way unless the house gets off their collective ass and votes for a minimum wage increase) this is not what they needed.

Fortunately (or not depending on your point of view) I'm am still above water and still able to connect to the net.
