Tights! Excellent. I need to buy some since LA has decided to have some winter after all.

If I'm going to be paying $2 per ounce for a drink, I'd like it to taste like something. I can get flavorless water for free.
In the words of the ever-quotable Bill Maher: "There's no such thing as flavored water. There's a whole aisle of this crap at the supermarket, water, but without that watery taste. Sorry, but flavored water is called a soft drink. You want flavored water? Pour some scotch over ice and let it melt. That's your flavored water." (22 April 2005)

We had one of our occasional bizarre rain dumps in Austin last night. My neighborhood is at 6" and rising. My wife woke me this morning to come look at the backyard, which had turned overnight into a pond, all the way from the back porch to the line of trees at the far end of the yard, with the two raised beds like little islands poking up through the water. Our laundry room is completely flooded, and our washer and dryer may be shot. The rain slacked off enough over the last hour that the grass was poking through Lake Corwood, but it's starting back up again now.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Damn, Cor. I hope the damage to the laundry room is less than expected and that the rain, rain goes away.

What is even happening?
Oh, Corwood. I hope it stops, soon.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Did someone quote that here this week already? Because I've definitely read or heard it over the past week.
Edit: Aha! I read it here [link] attributed to George Carlin.
Good luck, Corwoods.

Eep, Corwood! I hope it lets up soon!

I don't remember seeing it. I used it as an email tag a while back and Matt's comment just reminded me of it.
ETA: Bizarre. It's definitely Maher.

Thanks y'all. It's not that big a deal, more a hassle than anything. Everything back there is up off the ground other than the washer & dryer, and they are covered under our homeowner's. I was just researching subfloors for damp areas and water-routing landscaping ideas last night, so this just proves that we need to fix these problems. Unfortunately, I suspect the fix will be expensive, but won't add any value to resale price of the house.
