rain rain rain some more

So, how about that flood today?
I attempted to walk 4 blocks down the street to the American Indian Center. I ran two blocks, walked one and was soaking, sopping, dripping wet. It felt good but not good at the same time. I like taking showers but not with all of my clothes on in the middle of Uptown. So, i stop with one block left to go at a Walgreens hoping the rain will die down. After 15 minutes it didn't so i bought an umbrella and treked the last block to the building.
After an hour and a half, my mommy came to rescue me and we went on our way to go see a movie. you know, figh' dollah hollah at Western and Fullerton, 'cept now its six dollah hollah. it doesn't roll as good off the tongue. Anyway, we were stuck East of all of the viaducts near the train tracks on Ravenswood. We drove around for a really long time along the big, non-flooded intersections. We saw a school bus that got stuck in about 4 ft of water....there were people still on the bus. So, then we drove south down Ashland until we got to Tapatia and got some dinner. Then we made our way to Western to watch Shrek III. By the time we got out of the movie it was like 9:30 and all the water was dried up in most of the places.



Where were you during the Flood of 2007?
