Oh man, that has me laughing outloud at work! That does it, I'm having Xavier call you
Talk to Becky, I hear Fay asked her where to go to get into the Atlantic (Becky is in GA right now) and the results are now visible...:10:
You can thank Onespeed for that.
Don't mess with the Onespeed.

Well, my creek which is normally a couple of feet wide and 6 inches deep is now over 20 foot wide! It's about 15 feet from the back door. NOT a good sign.

The fool cat is out playing in the rain!!! She is sopping wet and doesn't seem to care anymore! This is where it gets scary. She has a Banded water snake by the head and it's trying to escape. These snakes look JUST LIKE a moccasin with the only variation being the shape of the head. I was a bit alarmed and even then, the snake is almost big enough to see her as food. I don't know how she managed it, but I don't give the snake very long to live.
