Taking on Water

Almost 14 inches of rain fell over the weekend. There's water in the basement all over the bar, on the floor, and a cracked pipe on a pump sprayed water all around our furnace room.

Fantastic.

I understand that Hurricane Ike was about the size of Texas, but did it really have to reach all the way up here, 1500 miles away, and dump rain on us? Combined with what it did to lovely places like Galveston and Houston, I'm more convinced than ever that we should start a War on Weather Systems. We've been attacked on our own soil for the third time in 2 weeks.

Ike, you have soiled the good name of former President Dwight D. Eisenhower. And for that, I'll never forgive you.

dude, it was rough. water got trapped in between the brick and my office windows at the back of our apartment. thusly, brown and musty water was filtering through apparent cracks in the places where the windows should have been sealed. makes it a bit hard to get work done in that room. that's what i'll blame my lack of writing on, yeah.
