what happens when it doesn't stop raining...

i went to bed last night as a wicked light show was going on outside. when i woke up this morning, some 2 inches of rain later, i could tell there was no end in sight. maybe a lull or two, but mother nature is now trying to make up for lost time. great. we're under a flash flood watch until tonight. we've got a few places on the farm that like to flood, sadly most of them being where there are soybeans are right now. hopefully we don't have much damage from that.

shockingly, our cellar is mostly dry. i had to go change all the water filters this afternoon. of course, if i would have thought about it, i would have done it before all the rain came.

the Yankees got a win yesterday, 3-0. amazing what some great pitching can do for a team. sadly, the offense still stinks as those 3 runs came in 1 inning. the game was over in a little over 2 hours. hopefully they can get a win tonight against the White Sox and start a winning streak.

Big Brother went as i expected last night. sadly, Zach didn't make it back into the house, Nicole did. i'm not happy with who won the HOH last night. oh well, as long as Frankie doesn't win it all, i'll be happy.

Married was really good last night. You're the Worst had me howling as well. and in commercials, i flipped over to The Simpsons marathon on FXX.

after i get done with this i get to go to the grocery store with my mother. mostly, it becomes a mission of making sure she doesn't have an accident and my favorite pastime, people watching. always a good thing for a poet to do.

other than some baseball tonight, i imagine i'll flip over to some preseason football and probably whatever is on the Food Network. of course, if the storms come back for another round tonight, i might not be watching anything.

that's pretty much all for me today. hope everyone has a great weekend. thanks for allowing me the chance to waste your precious time.

be well. be creative. be cool. be quick to send me CASH, panties, hate mail, love letters, broken promises, and dirty pennies from heaven.

peace and chicken grease my enemies...
