the sky is blue, you say?
May 14, 2002It didn't rain today. I was a little confused at first, because the sky was so blue and there wasn't a constant flow of water into the basement. But now, I'm starting to remember how life was those two long weeks ago, before the start of the rainy season.
The rain stopped before I found a chance to purchase the canoe and pole I planned to use to navigate the standing water in our basement. I wouldn't have been surprised to spot some gators down there, possibly being wrestled by Steve Irwin and his shorts. (Does that guy even own other clothes, or is he like a cartoon character, with a closet full of identical tan shorts?) I was maybe going to put some hanging plants and vines on the ceiling and introduce frogs for atmosphere. And I could have made a crude wooden sign, declaring the area "Jim-Bob's Bayou." It would've saved my mom all that mopping.
Things could have been worse. Had our roof not been fixed last year, our house may well have been filling up above and below us. Then I would have needed a canoe, a pole and an umbrella. As it is, the basement is already drying out, so I'm thinking I'll put some diamondbacks and cacti down there, and maybe open up a Hey, Dude like ranch and hire David Brisbin to play Mr. Earnst. I assume he needs work.
So now, the question is: Is there still time to plant the corn, or should I switch to soybeans?
