High Water of Biblical Proportions

Storm water gets so high in the west section of the First Baptist Church parking lot; full-immersion baptisms could be performed there. With the tall weeds growing up between the cracks and the high water, we now have a “wetlands” to add to this preservation district. But be careful, the native mosquito will end up being a protected species. I believe this is a first for our country’s portfolio of National Historic Landmarks. During the vehicle parking frenzy of Santa-Cali-Gon, someone needs to alert the water rescue folks if there’s rain in the forecast. And, good neighbors, don’t forget to pick up trash out of the streets, sidewalks, and front yards of your neighborhood block during Santa-Cali-Gon so at least some areas of town will look respectable. If you see trash in a church parking lot, you might pick that up too so it does not end up clogging their storm drain, again.
