What the ARK is going on here?

The rain, rain, rain, came down, down, down
In rushing, rising, rivlets
'Til the river crept out of it's bed
And crept right into Piglet's...

I have lost my mind! Okay this photo is of the Cameron Run exit on the beltway. Nice huh? See the garbage? That is where the waterline was. I am thankful for not living near any flooding. Our basement seems to have no egress and we did have quite the stream flooding into our neighbors yard - they have the drain! I could have canoed down to the Rupps house.

Here is a photo of Laruel, MD. I am not sure where these trees are but hey - it was a shot of Laurel so I had to use it. There have been alot of power outages. We only had flutters but that is because all our stuff in Ashburn is underground so you gotta love that! We never even lost TV which is really good because I did not want to miss "Hell's Kitchen" my new guilty pleasure. I have also digressed. After going through years of never ever being adicted to a soap opera, I was home last week for two days and flipped over to Days of our Lives. It was the only soap I use to watch when I was in high school and we were in the states for summer vacation. I think I watched 2 months of it one year and two months of it the next year. We only got General Hospital and Ryan's Hope in Germany. My sister was addicted to GH which is how I know about Dr. Noah Drake. It turns out they "DAYS" - brought back in the last few weeks all the old characters I saw when I watched this thing years ago. They also have the same actors that never left.

While I admit I am confused but alot of the plot - I have - GASP! - Tivo'ed it. One character has an eye patch on - I can't remember if he has always had one - one character is dying and showed up on the day his wife was marrying someone else (he was presumed dead as was the guy with the eye patch). The guy Steve with the eye patch and the presumed dead guy Jack, are also brothers. Steve has amnesia so he can't remember that he is Steve and now thinks he is Nick. The dying guy shows up in a hospice somewhere after being rescued by someone and guess who was at the hospice to take care of him....Nick - I mean Steve his long lost thought to be dead brother! Come on! And that is just one storyline.
