When it rains...

Continuous Rain. That would be today in a nutshell. Ivan's remnants are slobbering all over my office window. Well, more like emphatically splattering. The Baltimore/DC trip has become dependent on whether between now and 6 o'clock there's any flooding out near the airport (where my travel buddy lives). If there will be no Baltimore, then to the bar I shall go. (insert cheesy "heigh ho, heigh ho").

Nature in all it's majesty, is definitely a force to be reckoned with. Just goes to show how stubborn humans are though...living in the path of inevitable tropical storms...and people will rebuild on the same land that Ivan desacated...almost as if to tempt the savage beast to return. Human nature is funny like that. It's the same nature that sends me careening down rock infested canyon-like hills with nothing more than a couple wheels and a helmet between my head and the ground...and when i fall off, doing it again.
