Depressing weather!! Around-the-clock local news; NBC Today Show preempted again. I’m weary of all the bad weather news but can’t/won’t turn off the TV. (Truthfully, I’m physically sick as I project myself into the scene.) It’s eight o’clock as I publish this. I haven’t ventured out for the rain gauges yet.

Nine-thirty follow-up with more pictures. (Too much “weather”; I caught cold.)

FYI (eleven-fifteen): About nine-thirty, I turned off the TV and put on a CD with uplifting music. I was having chills so went back to bed–but still cold. About ten-thirty, I took a long hot shower so I could “get warm.”

Feeling better at 11:15.

The ground is so saturated the water just “sits.”
