More Storms Slam Flooded Midwest

Guess who was in Chicago when the Storm of the Century of the Month hit? Guess who spent $300 on cabs and hotels rather than spend the night at Midway? Guess who realizes it wasn’t worth it, having only gotten 4 hours of sleep, since he had to be back at the airport at 6am?

Needless to say, I’m whipped.

UPDATE: My penny-ante problems, solved by a 2½ plane flight ain’t nothing.

The flood authorities reckon that 4 feet of water will be in my little one story house by breakfast time. The house will be a total loss – not even worth rebuilding. At any rate, it will be uninhabitable for weeks.

Damn.

I find it incredible that 4′ of water makes a house a total loss.
