Blub ... Blub ... Blub

That old joke about "it's raining so hard the animals are pairing up" pretty well sums it up here in southern Alabama. 6-14 inches have pounded this area into submission.  Boat and hip boot sales are rising as fast as the local rivers.  If you didn't own waterfront property ... you probably do now.  Thankfully the water knows enough to head towards the Caribbean ... I hope.  Sharon and I are trying to avoid becoming mildewed so we turn the fan on now and again to circulate the air around us.  The real surprise will be tomorrow ... when they claim the sun will appear.  But followed by another 3 or 4 days of cold rain.  We're hoping that pale and wrinkled will be in style this spring.  We're not sure this beats what our 'western snow bird' friends are dealing with but having a dailey coating of nature's 'shake and bake' coating of dust and sand probably has its shortcomings too.  Anyway you look at it ... sure beats shoveling snow. (apologies to our northern friends)

Puckered and pale but still livin' the dream.
