1. That Starbucks is doing booming business today...
2. There probably is sewage in that water, as the sewage system is backed up and whatever was in the sewage system is commingling with the water from the flooded body of water...

When we get a huge downpour here that overwhelms the sewer system, the city may let the storm water runoff into Lake Michigan to prevent people's basements from flooding. Sometimes results in beach closings for a day or two when they have to do this due to bacteria.

The Chicago area generally has separated systems, and the actual "sewage" isn't released, ever. The runoff drainage system is "cleansed" to a lesser degree than sewage normally, but its the drainage system that is opened in a storm.

In the late 80's era, the EPA was actually mandating inspections in some suburbs to ensure that people had sump pumps which weren't feeding into the sewage lines ( and thus overloading them during a storm).

2. It isn't sewage, unless the river or other body of water is sewage.

There is an excellent chance that it is sewage. Once the flooding starts, you don't know what else gets into the river. Especially in places like DC where the storm and waste sewer systems are one in the same.

Bottom line, don't go frolicking in the flood waters.

In some parts of the South, when it floods, the two things you worry about most are above-ground propane tanks, and caskets.

Think "buoyancy."

Bill told me what happened and said Al seemed a little strange about it and accepted it very calmly.

I was like this for a day or two after my grandfather died, and it wasn't that I didn't want anyone to know -- it just took a while to register.

Did anyone ever tell these guys it's 'six feet under' not 'six inches under' for a reason? Jesus.

1. More people seem to have kayaks these days, but here's a canoe.

Those are the fuckers that almost ran me off the river this morning!

The sad thing is, you're looking at yourself in five years.

Five? Fuck that. More like two. But I'll have a ladder.



And I'll be speakin' on The Man, not taxes.

You're giving him props for that? How hard can it be to rotate through Great Anal Retentives of Sitcom History?

Yawn. Wake me when he gets to Joe from "Wings."

Between you and atticus, the fun would never stop.

Sheesh, TM is fixated enough on butt-sex in general so I would appreciate it if you didn't focus him onto my ass specifically.



Edit: Too late.

But what do you do about the awkward pause that comes immediately after?

No, wait, never mind.
