flooding

well, i finally found out why the rent on this apartment was $50 cheaper than other apartments... and maybe why people move out of this building so often... a fifteen minute cloud burst had water six plus inches on our walk and three plus inches at our front door... water was lapping right at the door jam and a half hour rain would have likely had water in the apartment... there was evidence of water damage at the entryway when we moved in and now i see why... doing to have to put towels down at the front door anytime we go away because we aren't even close to rainy season yet... they put a new drain in front of the place, but it clogs with sand and leaves too quickly because there is no grass, only sand around the drain...

gonna ask if they can put sod down to hold the sand from clogging the drain and we shall see what happens... glad it wasn't a long rain since the emergency maintenance people did not respond... i'll let them know next time water enters the apartment i'll call the fire department and they can deal with that bill since i can't rely on emergency maintenance... we all got lucky this time that the rain stopped just as the water was reaching the door jam...

the economy life on the first floor in florida... i'd be on the second floor if not for jackson and happiness... he does not need the multiple times a day stairs trip anymore... ah, there's always something, aye? :}

If people had visible signs or meters that told something about them, what would you want it to tell you?

dumb poll (above), smart responders

all the previous poll votes were somehow erased, so, nevermind... ironically or coincidentally or whatever, the results were very close in practical numbers to the results above shown with just three votes, if you understand the mathematics behind that extrapolative reasoning... i will probably remove the poll at some point... it is a ridiculously useless feature...

SEARCH ME

the thing is, with my tendency to babble and meander and whine and allow distraction to take the lead more often than not, even in this blog that sort of meant to merge brevity with focus like some bloggers do, searching for key words does not always lead to specific information about the subject of that key word... but... here is a start at an easy way to search for key words in this blog... use the search box at the top of the blog to search for words not listed here... if ya wanna, that is... and feel free to suggest words to add to this search shortcut section... click on the words below :)
