My hometown is no joke right  now. I've never seen flooding this intense since the typhoon in Taiwan that delayed my plane for six hours. I went to pick up some bread at Safeway and after I finally found parking and opened the door I stepped out into six inches of water. I think I understand why people wear boat shoes now. They're very useful as they dry within 15 minutes. It didn't really help that everyone left early this morning and took all of the umbrellas. The only umbrella left was this Pooh bear kids umbrella. Try using that in this madness. Imagine this, but more ridiculous. I might as well have been using those Martini umbrellas. My face was dry, but that's about it. The rest of my body looked like I had minions following me around with hoses all day. It was kind of embarrassing because I ran into people at random places today looking like some wet dog.

I'm surprised I didn't die on the freeway. I drove 60 mph the whole way... and you guys are well aware of how fast I usually drive... it was really dangerous though hence snail status. If you've driven through large puddles at high speed you know it feels like your car is going to flip over. Then a few hours after I got off the highway they closed it off because it was flooded. See? Could have died. Anyway, I made it, but... I did forget about the bridge fee and I payed with a bunch of coins and a few dollars like a homeless person buying cigarettes. I ended up short, but she let me pass anyway because I'm seductive. Not really, she probably just felt sorry for me.
