Waiting for a Recession of a Different Kind

Flood of 2008

Someone in one of the papers said today "If the flood of 1993 was the flood of the century, it was LAST century" because 2008 with not only rival it, but surpass it...
I talked to one of the facilities guys that was trying to stave off the invasion of water into the theater lot monday morning, and in essence he told me this...

"If your place flooded in 1993, it will most likely flood again, and more so this time around."

That was enough for me...I called Cas and she came back to Iowa City and we spent Monday evening (after I worked for 6.5 hours at the CPL) moving all of our belongings into my parents spare bedroom, new basement addition, and one of the stalls of the garage...it's seriously an amazing site to see all of our crap shoved into the garage and basement...(Thanks mom and dad for putting up with your daughter returning for two months at the age of 27! and bringing a roommate and all of her belongings with her.)

We are doing this to be pro-active and as a precaution. The river has not yet spilled on to th earts campus, but they evacuated all of t ebuildings around our apartment...theater, and art building west, and two of the main routes we'd take to access our road (Dubuque Street/Park Road bridge, and Rocky Shore Drive are closed)

Thanks to everyone for the concern...cas and i are stressed, looking for a new apartment, but also, making th emost of it...I'm keeping good spirits, as I consider that now we can have sleepovers with a projection screen for movie watching I suppose.
I"ll post pictures eventually when my memory stick decides to actually work in the card reader I have...or i have another posting option...

but thanks to those who helped us move out...we do indeed still owe you a round of drinks!
