And the trumpet shall sound.......well....maybe a siren...

Here I am sitting composing this, the tornado sirens are wailing: again.

Yet the sun is shining, and we've had buckets of rain. I don't get it. Gosh, I hope I'm safe!

I've been thinking about the whole Lake Delton debaucle, in which I think they had a visit by Moses at some point, only instead of parting the man-made lake, he decided to drain it instead. Sounds like an efficient plan to me. But what I don't understand is, why we mess with mother nature, the force of nature, or whatever you wish to call it. I mean...water has to go somewhere. Yet we continue to build roads, and homes, and trailer parks, and dams, and levees, and yet the water has to go somewhere.

Think of it: Louisiana. The army corp of engineers had a brilliant plan to redirect where the Mississippi River flows to the Gulf of Mexico out of sheer convenience, and really, Mother Nature didn't want it to do that. Hence, we have so many issues with Louisiana and flooding in addition to its other "issues."

Lake Delton further proves this fact. We build a dam and whatnot so that people can enjoy an over commercialized Illinoisian vacation mecca, and well, Mother Nature didn't want the dam there. Apparently she is into mud wrestling. It'll be interesting to see in the next few days how all of this rain will effect the Rock Aqua Jays and lo-and-behold the Jaycees 4th of July extravaganza. What excuse then will they use this time for not making money? Flooding?

Needless to say, I think it's apparent that I'm tired of rain. And my lawn is still not in order, and my co-workers are crabby, and I think now is a good time to go to play practice.
