I need to read through the next chapter of Bug again and post it, but my eyes aren't focusing properly.

The American Red Cross is running out of funds for its National Disaster Fund. They've been doing great work here, but they have not only the continuing situation here to deal with, but with the flooding that continues as the water flows south.

There are some really stupid people in this city. One of them got frustrated because the authorities wouldn't let him back into his house until it had been declared safe, so he tried to drive through a roadblock. He "bumped" a state trooper with his truck three times, fortunately not really hurting the cop. He's in jail on charges of assault with a deadly weapon. Even crazier, some people on the local websites are calling him a hero and were suggesting that a mob storm the barricades. They have apparently confused HAZMAT teams with the staff of the Bastille. Fortunately, most people are pointing out the idiocy of this plan.

We're still on water restrictions, but they got a second pumping station on line, so we are allowed to bathe every other day. Tomorrow's my day!

I'm enjoying the pictures of the happy couples in California. It's nice to see good news.
