Just checking in. As some of you know, my town was hit with yet another destructive act of nature. We had 16” of rain in 6 hours. My house flooded for the first time in the 36 years that I have lived here. We had between 4-5 inches of water in the house. So lucky yet again that I don’t have my tank set up yet.

The water restoration company has been here since last Wednesday gutting my house to get it dried out. I am staying with my mother until my place is livable again. It sucks, but I suppose it could have been worse. Hurricane season starts next week and there is already a disturbance in the Gulf. Sigh...

Anyway, here are a few pics of the carnage.

All the best wishes from me, how do you live in such a volatile place year to year?

This is definitely not the norm.

A husband and wife were dining at a 5-star restaurant. When their food arrived, the husband said: “Our food has arrived! Let’s eat!” His wife reminded him: “Honey, you always say your prayers at home before your dinner!” Her husband replied: “That’s at home, my dear. Here the chef knows how to cook…”

Well, my Pirate’s Reef that survived almost a month without power in the aftermath of Hurricane Laura, has succumbed to the dry out process. Either the constant 92° temps caused by the dehumidifiers and fans, or the anti microbial that they sprayed throughout the house did everything in, except the snails. So, I am basically out of reefing now.

How are you, the Mrs and mother in law, you had a tough ride and hopefully the reef bug will return?! :)

Thanks, but I am not sure I am anywhere near ready to return. The hobby has taken over my house. May need to reevaluate my needs and wants. I mean seriously, I ordered my tank in 2015 and it only was set up for three weeks and had nothing in it.

We are ok. It gets to my wife every now and then. I mean the house is not even livable at the moment. Staying with my mother (who is 85) is not easy. Her and my wife get cross with each other often. Just not an ideal situation. At least we aren’t sleeping in the yard.

The Reef Savvy. Not looking too spiffy in a pile of furniture in the living room.

Broke and stuck in an unhappy marriage, a husband decided to take out a large insurance policy on his wife with himself as the beneficiary and then have her killed. He contacted a figure named “Artie.” Artie explained to the husband that his going price for snuffing out a spouse was $10,000 and he needed a deposit. The man opened his wallet, displaying the single dollar bill that rested inside. Artie sighed, rolled his eyes, and agreed to accept the dollar as a down payment for the deed. Artie followed the man’s wife to Costco. He surprised her in the produce department and proceeded to strangle her. The manager of the produce department stumbled unexpectedly onto the murder scene. Ol’ Artie had no choice but to strangle the produce manager too. Unknown to Artie, the entire proceedings were captured by the security cameras and observed by the security guard, who called the police. Artie was caught and arrested.

The next day in the newspaper, the headline read, “ARTIE CHOKES 2 for $1.00 @ Costco.”

True story. I knew a guy whose wife contracted a hitman to murder him. The hitman was actually an FBI agent (they had been tipped off by her friend). They faked his death by squirting him with darkened ketchup and taking a photo of him lying in the trunk of a car. Showed her the photo, she paid him, and is now in jail. Your fact for the day - ketchup is the secret tool of the FBI.
