It's that time of year again where we get rain for days and days on end. Now, it's going on 4 days straight of pretty steady rain with periods of blinding downpours in-between. I've got cabin fever, so what do I do? I decide to venture out to the store for a few minutes to get a paper & some coffee and such. Five minutes after leaving I find myself on the interstate with my wipers on high with rain pummeling my car from every angle, drivers virtually coming to a complete stop from 75 mph 2 mins. before and wondering why the hell I needed that paper so badly to begin with?
So, I decide to pull off & turn around. Problem is that the exit I choose is completely flooded with several cars stalled in the turn lane because water has risen so high in the middle of the intersection, they've stalled. whoo hoo!
A 10 min. trip to the store took 55 mins. I think we've gotten at least 15" of our yearly 55 in three days. I need a trip to the tan bed with one of those drinks with the li'l umbrellas in 'em. ;-)
