The ark is almost finished. We are gathering the animals now to load them on the boat. With any luck the floods won't come until it's finished. Damn, has it been raining. Non-stop since Friday afternoon. I don't know how much we've gotten but the original forecast called for 4 or 5 inches total. Of course this doesn't even compare to what I get to deal with tomorrow. I head northwest tomorrow morning. Leaving Lexington, heading to Louisville, then to Indianapolis, on toward Peoria, and finally into Iowa. As best I can tell the worst of the weather is occurring today (freezing rain and ice) and the roads should be okay by the middle of the day tomorrow. Keep your fingers crossed. The last thing I need is to get stranded in the middle of Illinois. I'm staying in a hotel tomorrow night so I'll be able to post more (no more dial-up) and I'll actually be able to find out what all of you have been up to this weekend.

One last bit of information. The temperature here today is 60. Tomorrow in Iowa it'll be around 15. That's a big change. How long do you think it'll take to find an Iowan corn fed boy to keep me warm. Just a thought.
