Fun in Cedar Falls!

There are three things you should know about my next door neighbors

  1. They are trying to sell their house
  2. They are holding a nicely advertised open house today
  3. We live on a flood plain

Here is a picture of said neighbor, this morning, checking out what used to be his backyard:

You will note he looks depressed. My reaction was much more rational, given the circumstances. This picture was taken about two feet from the back of my house

I will not be mowing the lawn today. Instead, I put a message in a bottle saying, "Help. I live in Central Iowa. Please send Thai food and a good video rental store." and threw it out of my bedroom window. It zoomed past the neighbor's yard (you can see the line-of-trees border at the extreme right) and out of sight. There is much Current.

I know you are thinking of hopping in your car and coming to visit to cheer Laurel and I up. Don't bother - this is the street in front of our house.
