Captain's Corner

Well there’s floodin’ down in Texas
All of the telephone lines are down…
Well the dark clouds are rollin’ in
Man I’m standin’ out in the rain

Well, thanks to a record-breaking amount of precipitation this June, I finally understand what Stevie Ray Vaughan was singin’ about there (on a much sadder note, I have long understood what he’s actually singing about, but that’s a different story). We walk through what can only be described as a swamp when going in and out of our new apartment. The landlord/lady, who has to this point been notoriously lazy, has also stopped coming out to mow because it rains so often and it is never not-muddy. That would almost be fine except for the fact that there is grass between where we park and our stairs… meaning that there is now thigh-high grass (I know, it’s the most fun usage of the term “thigh-high”) in addition to the ever deepening mud. I am now convinced that what has actually happened is that whilst sleeping one night I was moved to the Pacific Northwest and some is playing an elaborate and insanely expensive prank on me. I swear I keep seeing Ashton Kutcher out of the corner of my eye…

Anyway, not much going on here. Lilybeth is awesome and seems to take up most of my time… so that’s why I’m blogging about rain… well, that and the fact that I like Stevie Ray Vaughan…
