Row, Row, Row Your Truck, gently down the streeeeet.

Posted by Dory in flood

I want to share some pics from the St. Louis weekend, but a little more pressing is the flooding here in Cedar Rapids.

Me and Mah Kizzle ventured down just a little ways from my house to near Czech Village, one of two areas in Cedar Rapids under immediate danger, the other being Ellis Blvd.

8th Av and maybe 3rd?

Then on the way back home, we were chancing some of the flooded streets because we were all brave in the truck and I got all wet as we went through one intersection and I couldn’t get the window up in time. :)

Rip it, roll it, and punch it, dude. Further updates as events warrant.

    That was some funny shit right there, she didn’t mention she was shreeking as well as trying to shut the window. Geez i was only going 30 or so thru flood water, it was ONLY up over the roof! Fun times! :)

    Silly ass people…building a town with a river for the main street.
    What, you think you’re in Venice or something?

    I’m glad you are only floating away on purpose!

    So is that river water or putrid sewer water? Or a lovely melange of both?

    Bless your poor flooded hearts.

    And I needs the love. Oh, how I craves the looove. And I'm not shy; it's a spectacularly dysfunctional, codependent, "but I looooooove him, he din't mean to crack mah jaw! Noooo, don't take him awaaaaay!" type of love.
    Enable me, won't you?
    But. (There is always a but, and sometimes a butt.)
