Thank goodness the Police showed up before the naked high-diving-from-the-roof-into-the-kiddie-pool contest started!

Hehe! I had good subject material that day. I don't think my photos from the Gardens at SIU-E turned out anywhere near as good.

You have drought, and we have flooding. Mississippi will be cresting at about 6 feet over flood stage by Friday. Grafton and Elsah are already affected.
