Flood

View of the Newton Public Library parking lot.  See the Honda, second from the right?  That’s my car. Took a few hours til I could get to it, and that still involved removing my socks and shoes to wade through the remaining lake.

On the plus side, if you have to get trapped somewhere, a library is not the worst place to be.

after the flood

These are the shopping bags that were in the back of the car (it’s actually about half of them, yes I have too many bags and I gave away this same amount last week. I may have a Reusable Bag Problem).  All got quite wet, so they’ve be run through the wash, and are now drying on the porch.

in style

The camera doesn’t quite capture how very shiny these pants were, so you’ll have to use your imagination.  And apparently, silver pants are all the rage these days. Too bad they weren’t my size.
