Well, my last post -- right after I got home from work -- didn't seem to "take", so here goes again.

I worked this afternoon -- but, more importantly, I was able to check the water levels on the way home. It's looking as if I might not be able to get to work tomorrow morning over flooded roads. And if I do manage it, I might not be able to get home. If it looks iffy, I'll forego the day's pay and stay put. Water is across Rte. 4 in one place just up around the corner, and ready to spill over several more places on this side of Lee Traffic Circle. Rte. 152 will be in worse shape, I'm sure, plus there are two rivers that have a nasty habit of flooding over their bridges.

I might even get some de-cluttering done (provided we still have electricity -- it's windy, but nowhere near as bad as a few weeks ago when the wind snapped trees & utility poles & we were without power for four days).

I DID manage to get rid of some papers and go through some magazines before I went to work, though.

Since there's 4" of water between the deck & the woodpile, I loaded up the wheelbarrow (while standing on treacherous floating wood and mud footing) and parked it at the foot of the deck steps. Won't have to take my life in my own hands again until maybe tomorrow morning.
