Why Oh Why!

So why do we live up here in this frozen tundra? That is the question we find ourselves asking once again. Just when we were getting to the point where all the snow was gone, another blizzard last night, this combining with another flood capable of having the same crests of 1997. The big difference this year is that we have the multi million dollar flood wall in place. Fargo, just 75 miles south of us is not so fortunate, this may be their, flood of the century,, they are fighting a good fight, and God willing they will win the fight.
We only have one bridge open between East Grand Forks where we live and Grand Forks where we work, they are saying that by next Monday the lone bridge may have to close as well. Just hope I am on the right side when that happens, meaning a few days off work cause we have no way to get there. If not, my parents will have a couple of house guests, you know, that would not be such a bad deal. I know my Mom she would be cooking some great meals for supper, heck, Ron probably would not want to go home to his lean cuisine suppers.
Well I will let you all know how we fare, hopefully we will stay dry. We did not take the gamble and buy flood insurance. So if for some reason the worst happens, we may be retiring to the south earlier than planned.
