We had a pretty good thunderstorm this afternoon. We are about two houses off of Mann Street on Mary Drive and Mann Street always becomes a raging river as it passes by our street. We get a fair flow of water on Mary Drive that runs off into Mann Street. It all goes down one more street to the north of Mary Drive where there is a dip in the road and the water makes a sharp left turn and ambles on to who knows where. Now, that all made sense, right?
I messed around all day, not getting much done and waited until the thunderstorm started... to start driving to the Costco Warehouse. It was about a one half hour drive in fantastically heavy traffic and with the windows closed and the windshield wipers going full blast the windows started fogging up real bad. I turned the heater/defroster on and breathed a lot of hot air for a period of time. I tried cracking my driver side window open a few inches to offset the temperature on the front window to clear the fog but then a car would zip by on that side and splash a couple of gallons of water through the opening and all over me! By the time that I arrived at Costco, just a little bit wet, the rain had slowed some. Getting out of the vehicle and looking around with my wide brimmed sombrero on my head, I wished that I had worn high topped work shoes instead of a dress shoe type. I swear, I waded through running water 6 inches deep to get into the store. I was using one of those fold up window shades from my vehicle to use as an umbrella. As strange as I looked, when I showed my Costco Card----they let me in. Thank goodness, it was fairly dry on the return trip to home about an hour later. Have a good day....The Can Man
