GOSH, I Hope This Headline WRONG! Please note the sign to the right of the Movie marquee. The river crested a few days ago and has dropped about 2 feet at this point. This is the first time I've seen my office since the mandatory evacuation. That evacuation will most likely be in place another m...

I was thinking of the David Bowie song Changes as I reviewed this picture I had just taken minutes ago. There are many more changes ahead in my families life, and 4,000 or more other families lives who lost their homes to this flood, then we could ever begin to guess. We are left wondering just w...
