It is raining in a serious way today. It rained yesterday, and with all of the snow melting, there’s a lot of standing water about. I was actually concerned driving home from scouts about whether the van would make it through some of the puddles. At one point I spotted a round drain in the street with 4 inches of water around it, creating a very cool looking whirlpool. It was so cool that even Charles made happy noises when I showed it to him. I just hope the basement doesn’t flood again.
