Will my neighbors laugh if I build an ark?

Holy smoke, that was a lot of rain yesterday! Flash flood warnings...something about 1.5 inches of rain PER HOUR...and it rained for like 3 hours. Eric - who, thanks to his handy scanner, is all about community 'awareness' - even reported that cars were underwater downtown, trees were falling down in the high winds, some dufus slammed his car into the bridge over the river, and ...oh, yeah...there was a Mexican urinating against the side of a building somewhere (maybe thinking the rain would 'wash it away'??). Anyway, Eric said the cop just kept requesting someone onsite who spoke Spanish. Yes, I believe rain and storms do to Decatur residents what alcohol does to the human body...first, you simply lose good judgment. Then, stupid things start happening.

Anyway...after a soggy start, band practice went pretty well. While we practiced on stage (let's call this the 'testosterone half' of the room), several of the women-folk - Stacey, Wendy, and Mavis - were scrapbooking in the back of the room (let's call this the 'estrogen half' of the room). Afterwards we headed to Ruby Tuesdays, where we laughed about the mirror-effect on the salad bar that made people look like they could hold their salad plates upside down. We also laughed at the ultra long Kyle-ism uttered by Kyle after a comment he didn't understand (read key phrases below).

Maybe we need more things to laugh at.

KEY PHRASES: "A.J." "Gooooood Lord! Alrighty, then. What?! I don't even know what that means! What was that? What??" (I think I even left a couple out...) "Hey...putting my foot down worked, and I didn't step in anything, either."
