When it rains ... build an ark!

Well, weather fans! It finally happened. The day that I have joked about for years is here. It has rained so much that I cannot make it home. I made two valiant attempts to get home, and met bodies of water in both directions. There were other options, but water was on all the roads and come on, it's 1 a.m. I'm tired. SO here I am, back at the Herald.
Why at the Herald, you say? No way to get home, best friend's house behind wall of water also...I'm only ten miles from home and motel rooms are expensive. I'll be spending this incredibly restful night in my office.
Sounds uncomfortable, doesn't it?
Not necessarily. In my youth, I was a Girl Scout. SO what, you say? That means I am prepared for all situations. In my trunk, I had a sleeping bag, a pillow, my laptop and a movie (mind you, it is Thumb Wars!). I found two dollars for the snack machines in my ashtray. I am set! An oasis at the Herald. There is a bathroom, a door I can lock, a phone in case of emergencies and a shower in front of the snack machines. Yes, in true Herald fashion, there is a big leak right in front of the snack machines, so I guess I could get a Coke and a wash?
But anyway, preparing to lay down for the night. I guess I'll pray for it to stop raining so I can see my kids again!n
