Thirsty?

We have had over 12.75 inches of rain since March 1.  Seven (and then some) inches came in the course of a three day storm two weeks ago. It started raining again on Monday morning... and hasn't stopped. 

As a child, I learned the little ditty: "Rain, rain, go away, come again another day." It never made sense then... it only rained about 10 days out of every year.  We celebrated thunderclouds, danced down the driveway in monsoons, waited ten minutes, and then everything was dry again - sometimes for another 100 days.

Now (on the other side of the country and 20 years later), roads are closed, there's a giant erosion-induced pothole in front of my driveway (which is "fun" to try to avoid every time I come home), we live in a state of emergency (in addition to the state of MA), sandbagging volunteers will stay up all night tonight to keep the rivers and dams from flooding and breaking, and there is a new river outside the building where I work (diverted into the sewer system this time instead of our first floor offices, thankfully).

It's the last days, folks. Keep an eye out for the signs of the times, and listen hard in General Conference this weekend.
