the river next to my house is running for the first time this winter, creek in front is muddier and more nasty than ive seen it but its not anywhere near flood stage, yup, we getting good rain, snow coming too and its supposed to be 15 degrees tonight, just about right.
 
But how did the elephant get like that? What did you do? I think all we can do now is read this tiny ad:
