I've bitched before that no one here can drive if a single molecule of water falls from the sky in any way, shape, or form. But this time it's legitimate; we've suffered a deluge. (WaPost; registration/bugmenot). Roads have been closed, people endangered on the roads. On the traffic website I check, I've seen reports that my road to the Beltway is flooded; the Beltway is closed at alternate route on; and when that opened that their was a mudslide onto the Beltway in between me and work. The mudslide is I'm sure from the construction--last Monday, when trying to escape a downpour that washed out our softball game in Maryland, it was clear all the runoff from the Wilson bridge & related construction project was focused on to the Beltway--stupid whether or not it was on purpose. See, where I grew up, the roads drain to the side.
The feds are actually on unscheduled leave, wherein you can burn a vacation day unplanned--I've only seen that happen for snow, so far. And I was even going to get moving early today--since I woke up an hour before my alarm because my blood sugar was low, I figured I'd get moving...but it doesn't seem like a good idea to gas up the car and go right now. Since the sound on ESPN isn't coming through my cable right now, so I can't even catch the highlights I missed....this is a rough day, and I'm not even dressed yet.

I knew I should have gotten you that inflatable raft as a going-away present.
