In K-ville this week they were emptying out sandbags and going back to life as normal, even though the river is still higher than it's ever been in living memory. When I asked why they were taking it down, they replied 'it doesn't rain in September'. That was it...it was Sept 3rd and somehow that means that it is impossible for more rain to come. Seemed kind of stupid to me, I mean, I would at least wait for the river to go down to it's normal level. After all, the level of the river really depends on rains in the neighboring country, not so much rains in K-ville, but who am I to ask questions of people who have been doing it like this their entire lives, right?
Last night it rained...so much for the 'no rain in September' theory. Although, based on my contractor experience in the capitol, they still probably actually continue to think it doesn't rain in September...even though it just did.

We had rain last night too, about 2 inches. We think of you often. Amber is working on a dual Master's program in an area that you are also intersted in.
We became grandparents on August 6th. Amy and her husband had a baby boy.
Take Care!
