The first question they ask a paranoid at the mental health center is, why do you think you are important enough for the government to be out to get you?
And if thats the gist of it
I celebrate my lack of importance.
The conversations about this flood, are complicated, because while beyond what I consider a level of healthy concern, I was prepared for I it. The hardest part was moving stuff around.
But, the facts are, that within just a couple miles of here, there are tens of Thousands of people whos lives were upended.
So, it would be inappropriate, for me too report too much on my fascination with the power of nature. Watching a damn burst on live TV is an awe inspiring event.
Seeing a 2000 acre lake turned into a Sandune is awe inspiring.
And seeing a massive bridge that I just installed under 30 feet of water with trees hanging from the road deck is very cool. But its just a bridge.
The poor devils that lived and worked just downstream from the bridge well, nice not so hot for them now.
You cannot lose sight of all of those people just on the other side of the hill from me, who are suffering.
And its more important for me to worry about their well-being.
