I really think Mother Nature and Satan are in cahoots today....EVIL I tell you. I drove up to Old Town this morning...it's amazing what we women will do for a good hair cut and a highlight isn't it? Anyhow, the drive was really okay, but on the trip home I could not believe the flooding! The interstate was crazy...where you wouldn't think water would pool up, there were spots with at least 8 inches of standing water!
Before the Veterans Bridge coming into Brewer there was a spot that is lower and all the water from the super saturated snow drifts was melting and making water run everywhere and pooling up in very deep spots....Glad I had a vehicle that is higher off the road than a car! In my neighborhood the drainage was so bad it was a challenge just making it home without stalling in the standing water! Some old fart of a guy up the road from me was telling me to slow down (I was going like 15-20 mph) so he wouldn't get splashed I guess...I was like, if I slow down anymore, I am gonna be sitting in water at the end of your driveway pal! Apparently, the water was spraying out from the bottom/sides of my vehicle in such a way that it appeared I was driving too fast...I guess. The city finally sent a frontloader up to clear the sewer drains...things are flowing better now.
As for the NCAA tournament....I am having a REALLY BAD DAY today. Losing by a point or two in games where the teams should really have won. I cannot remember a year where the coaching choices were so poor...these kids bombing in 3's when they only need a point or two...Crazy! Guess I won't be winning this pool!
Made a chowder for supper...it is warming as I sip on a nice Black and Tan...had to have SOMETHING Irish today, afterall!
When I picked up the seafood, I also bought this week's Ellsworth American....Tyler O'Grady has a place of honor on my fridge now! Nice shot of him.
Stay dry...
Wish I could remember my favorite Irish "blessing"....I think it goes like this..."May those that love the Irish be blessed, and those that don't, may God break their legs, so we'll know them by their limping." hahahaha Irreverent, just like me!!!
