15 Jan, Sun

Sun, 15 Jan i awoke around 6am to a noise that i realized was pouring rain. i rolled over, .... and then thought that i should get up to see what kind of water problems we had in the catteries. and to see if any of the cats were using any of the 9 totes that i 'toted' all the way from Kalamazoo. WoW, it was raining hard and everything was wet and flooding; but the cats were all safe and dry, except for Cookie. i put him in a tote, but he wasn't having any part of it. we need to start putting their food inside the totes to get them used to going in there. i was happy to see that the changes i had made were working and mostly dry. but there are still lots of areas to be dealt with. it stopped raining around 11am, cleared up and was sunny and humid. luckily the sandy soil drains well, and the floods had subsided. Wilbur came over and cleaned the fish we caught ... all 20 of them. and here is the crate of our Conch Catch ... say that 20 times fast :) i worked on a few small projects and around 4pm, Madi came running in saying another storm was on the way. ....and rain, rain, rain it did; and flooded everything once again. it stopped around 7pm and i headed out to find a different restaurant with internet service. i did find one; but it took 47min to upload 2 photos. sitting next to me were a young couple i overhead talking to another girl. they are from Chelsea, Michigan. we talked for awhile and he told me we are in for rain through Thursday :( ...... not what i wanted to hear ... but it's a good opportunity to see where and how the rain is coming in; .... and ... it's not snow :)
