Right now with the rain pouring down, I can almost hear the grass growing Frank. Thinking more along the line of a herd of goats. I could always use some extra racin money so I am sure we could work something out.

Bad part about goats though, is they also supply instant fertilizer. Also looking into building an ark. Anyone have any spare plans laying around. Noah????????????

I've heard we've got a good chance of water being higher than it was in '97 here in Louisville, so I'm guessing it would be the same for your section of the Ohio. This weekend water was creeping awfully close to our new downtown arena, and we've got something like 3-5" of rain predicted to fall the beginning of this week. Yikes is all I can say.

Forget rain. I think racing is going to be derailed by fuel costs. 4.17 a gallon in TH now for unleaded. At what point do racers start cutting down and winnings make them lose less? Rain is saving them a bit of money because they don't have to fix damage.

I see one bright spot here. I'm on vacation this week. Had I worked today, I'd be a bit soaked by now.

We're nearly double the average amount so far this month. And that was before this started.

This town is nervous. We had a monster flood in '08 and river levels are rising as we speak.

No races for 2 weekends in a row and for me that is the first in a very long time.

Just got off the phone with our retirement advisor and it's also raining up at Elkhart.

No different down here in Southeast Missouri. Other than some small hail from last night we're fine in Dexter because the whole town sits on a ridge (Crowley's ridge) that stretches towards Ark. and the water can drain out, but over in Poplar Bluff they're evacuting people that live on the southside of town by the Black river. It's just like in March of '08 when we got a bunch of rain and the water started rising fast. Piedmont, Mo. which is around 40 miles north of the Bluff got flooded really bad during that storm. My workplace in the Bluff was flooded out for a day and I'm sure that will happen again with these storms. Crazy.

Danny I just gave our mail man a cup of hot chocalate, rainey and cool here in Kokomo. We keep him up on drinks and snacks but today he said the warm drink hit the spot.

Why talk about about the rain because there is nothing we can do about it either. Just hope and pray that the ones effective by this weather gets through all the problems that the rain brings to them.
