Muddy Situations

An acquaintance from out of state phoned to see how bad the flooding was. I'm not near the flood. We're dry here. The Mississippi, The Big Muddy is due west, and the flooding there has broken all records. It's a mess there; it is reported the Achafalaya swamp will be inundated to the point that water will be up right under the 30 mile bridge on I-10 over the Achafalaya basin. That's a hellu've a lot of water, folks.

There was a warning given to those who live along the Mississippi flood zone: "SNAKES, DEER, WILD BOAR, ALLIGATORS AND BEARS, AMONG OTHER WILD ANIMALS, WILL BE FLEEING RISING WATER. IF YOU SEE A BEAR, DO NOT APPROACH IT. DO NOT TRY TO PET IT. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO FEED IT. LEAVE THE BEARS ALONE! THEY ARE CONFUSED AND IN A BAD MOOD."
You can bet someone somewhere, though, will try to pet a bear and get mauled.

Now about the scandal about Arnold "The Terminator" Shwarzenegger (sp?) who is separated from wife Maria Shriver. He apparently fathered a child 14 years ago with a housekeeper/maid and I assume Maria just found out-- but she knew he was a skirt chaser when she married him. I heard Walton and Johnson on the radio this am and they were talking about this maid, now 50 years old, and about how downright homely she was. This is all second hand info from me, from Piers Morgan's TV show and the radio guys.

oh well, what else is new?

I'm convinced that there is no way to escape the weather. We complain around here about water in the basement and the occasional washed-out road. But we keep our houses (although the occasional roof gets ripped off by straight line winds or a fallen tree). It is still too wet here to plant, but at least we can see the ground. Good to hear that you are far enough away from losing you place.

Hii jj; good to hear from you. Glad you're not in the bad weather that's happening everywhere it seems. Are you gonna plant a garden?
Garden produce is at its prime right now here, enjoying lots of yellow crookneck squash, bell peppers, cabbage, onions, and a plethora of other vegetables from the U-Pick farms. I like fresh snap beans.
Best of everything to you, susil.

I saw a photo of the Arnold's former mistress back in the day when they did the deed, and she wasn't all that bad looking. The news people said this woman was obsessed with Maria - wore her clothes, they had sex in her bed, etc. When was California having all those rolling power outages? Maybe the lights were out, she was wearing Maria's clothes, and he got confused.

That was just too too funny! Thanks for the laugh!

I hate the flood for the people who live off the land. I saw the maid's
picture also and was amused. I hope the animals get to higher ground.

Hi jeri; I feel so sorry for the the folks who lost everything to flooding and tornados. Starting over is so hard.

I saw the maid's photo tonight on the news. He must have consumed a few shots of really strong liquor before he did the deed with her. Oh my!

comment by jondude on May 18, 2011 8:28 PM ()

Hi jon; The mistress has big bosoms--maybe Arnold wasn't looking at her face--reckon?

Bears in Mississippi???????????Where the heck did they come from? I'd be confused too if I were a bear and suddenly found myself keeping house next door to an alligator.

I saw a picture of the housekeeper on line. She IS homely and overweight. Some men just don't care, so long as they can get in their pants.

Hi red; Black bears were native to Mississippi until they were almost totally wiped out, then years ago the forest service or somebody put bears back in their native habitat in the woods and swamps and they are thriving.

You are right--do men really care what a woman looks like if she is willing?

I looked at maps of the spillway, which is huge, and soon to be totally engulfed. I heard an interview with a man who lived in a community just days away from being awash. He noted that many knew they lived in the Morganza Spillway, chose to live there in fact, it's such beautiful Cajun country, but no one really thought that it would need to be used, at least not in his lifetime. Another lady in her late 80s remembered the Great Mississippi Flood of 1927, when the Mississippi River became 80 miles wide in spots. She was sanguine about it all, saying the folks were tough and would do what they needed to do, save or rescue what they could, and then restore their lives again afterward right back there and carry on. She also noted, with a laugh, "I should have learned to swim."

Hi marta; I so admire people who can face disaster with such equanimity--The older I get, the more I fall apart under stress.
Hope you are well!
