building an ark

it hasn't stopped raining here since last thursday... ugh... we've accumulated over 10 inches of rain... lots of flooding everywhere, roads and the metro closed... even some of the gov't buildings downtown have been closed due to flooding in their basements... luckily i live on top of a hill, and we haven't had any problems with water... but several people have had difficulties getting to work... maybe the happy sun will come out today...
