Water, water everywhere, and not a drop to drink!





Bye, y'all!


No gas!

I'm seeing that to the SW side of you, just on the outskirts, I-44 is closed for what looks like 10-15 miles, along with some other roads closer in.

Yes.  Inconvenient.  Terrible for the people whose houses are flooded.

The cabin by the Missouri River isn't flooded, yet, because it's on 10' stilts, but you don't need to use the steps.  The cabin is built on a hill next to the river.  One of the bulldozers is outside the levy, and up to the A-pillar in water.  I guess it'll be there for a while.  I can't see the blade, or the hood.  Just the tops of the lights, and the cab.

I guess picking up my Fiero this weekend wasn't meant to be.  It wasn't ready, but that's the highway I'd take.
Didn't want to drive in the rain, anyway.  55 is blocked going South, Alton is flooded northeast... I'm sure the confluence is flooded.  There used to be a town there.

Hwy 30 looked to be an alternate that bypassed the flooded I-44 section.  When I lived up there, my first landlord had a place over on the Missouri.  Righr on the bank, and on stilts, of course.  He said sometimes the only access was by boat.

I used to drive 67 around through Alton on the weekends, headed to a little club in a town I think was named Bethesda.  18 years old, returning highly intoxicated across what was a 2-lane steel girder bridge across the river in Alton.  Don't know how I was never stopped.  Sometimes I don't even know how I got back.

I do not like the Alton bridge--or Illinois, for that matter.  I've heard of Bethesda.  Never been.  Usually go to Mac's.  Never been to Fast Eddies, either.

Hwy 30, also known as Gravois Rd?  No thanks.  More accidents per mile from people who don't stop.  I'd rather take Hwy 100, and it's terrible.

67 is very long.  It goes into Alton, and down where I grew up.

Next weekend, we're supposed to attend a presentation by a bunch of quartets.  The location itself is OK, but currently inaccessible by car.  It's like $35 per person, so the water needs to go down.
