Under all that water are some D.capillaris.

Here is another pic of the development that is accross the ditch from me. This use to be a street, now it's a river.

Here's the 3 foot ditch between the two developments. Just a few days ago I put the coperhead I found down in that ditch.

This what the storm did to my A.konjac. No big deal it was starting to wilt anyway.

This is the view from my doorsteps. Notice I movd the van because the water was almost up to the door and was still rising.

This is how close the water came to my door.

Don't go wading in that ditch, man! Can copperheads swim?

All snakes can swim.

And fish can eat poisonous snakes because they aren't really poisonous.  They're venomous.  So we're told.

WoW. My sympathies. Atleast those houses aee raised up over the ground! That tree down looks mostly dead so it would have fallen sooner or later.

Also, on another note, thats a good example of pine woodland thats beenn encroached by developers. If youl notice theres no new pine trees iin the lawn planted so eventually theil get old and dissapeir, to be replaced by weedy mimosas and emperes trees to serve asd the lauching point of an invasiion of the woodlands. I think when you ge the tiome, grow some pine seedlings and give them away free to neibors. It would be rude to refuse, and a few might get planted to continue the generation. in that area. Use your local seed


Wow look at me, sitting here talking about the pine trees as your neiborhood gets submerged. Tch! tact! i need it!


Seriously, i hope the water doesnt get bad and that you and your belongings make it out intact!

Had to help a friend out Finch

"Ode to Ozzy in Ophelia"

Ozzy sits inside his home
And so does his retriever
He went to try and remove a log
But was beaten by a beaver

Ohhhhhhhh Ozzy
It's just a little rain
Ohhhhhhhh Ozzy
You've only got one lane
ohhhhhhhh Ozzy
There's one good thing about this douse
ohhhhhhhh Ozzy
It knocked over that lighthouse

He's riding out Ophelia
And gives updates on the hour
But if he fails don't feel blue
it just means hes lost his power

Ohhhhhhhh Ozzy
It's just a little rain
Ohhhhhhhh Ozzy
You've only got one lane
ohhhhhhhh Ozzy
There's one good thing about this douse
ohhhhhhhh Ozzy
It knocked over that lighthouse

Now the waters rising fast
But quickly tell me this
Does it really matter:
(Poison)or(Venom) ous

(refrain) X2

Did you lose power?
I hate cold pizza.

Well I like dominos cheeseburger pizza, so I tried to recreate that on 3 different pizzas. When I ate it I ate one piece of each. It was really good.
