It Rained For 40 Days And 40 Nights...
Good morning.
I have this incredible urge to commence building an ark.
The day I took the pictures of our overflowing ditch, the water level was actually lower than it had been, certainly lower than it is now. I had taken the opportunity of a lull in the downpour to snap a couple of pics. Afterall, I do not want my fabulous camera to get wet!
It is wonderful to have heat again. Especially when it's cold AND wet out. As far as I know the furnace is completely fixed now, shouldn't have any more trouble with it, this year anyways.
So yeah, I don't know whats up with the ditch. It's supposed to drain away. I have an inkling its to do with the folks a couple of doors over whose driveway has collapsed on top of the drainpipes. You know, the folks whose yard and home is otherwise completely immaculate. The folks who live for appearances. Since I previously always lived in the city, I've never had a ditch drainage system before, but obviously, the water is supposed to run along the ditch, under the driveways through pipes, down to the middle of the street, where there are larger pipes which carry the water out to the field. It worked fine last year and the year before that. There are 3 homes between us and the larger pipes, the last 2 with caved in driveways. There is a pipe running under the road, from across the street, which drains their ditches over to our side, so we're getting their water too. Their ditches are empty. I'm not sure, but I think its a township issue.
Speaking of the township, there is an election coming up and we've been notified that we are to vote via mail. The notices make no mention of voting in person. How bogus is that? This leaves far too much room for tampering etc. Like I'm just gonna send off my vote in the mail and hope it arrives intact? I've had birthday cards stolen from the mail, never mind a ballot! Cripes, what will they think of next?
Well, I'm off, to google "ark building". Have a lovely day.

Mom, you should call the municipality or township or whatever and tell them what is going on with the ditch. I have a gut feeling your neighbours are responsible and the municipality can enforce them to fix their driveway.
