Subject: [OM] RANT, what rant? [was Joel's dilemma long ago]
<Joel, it's a shame your situation headed the list off in another direction.
Thanks Moose. I started my own thread "Flooding in Iowa." Chuck
started the "How High's the Water" thread with Ken. If my situation
headed anything awry, I suspect it won't happen again for a while.
Thanks to Wayne, Chris, Marc, Khen, and others for your kind messages.
Isaiah 43 has been a comfort to me. I have the best wife imaginable
and the comfort and strength in that relationship is inestimable. The
kindness and fellow feeling of the people in my state is apparently
boundless, though I don't see how it can persist for the duration of a
thing like this. At present, I don't believe that I am hurt as badly
as my neighbors, which is a reversal of fortunes from the last time.
I get no pleasure from it though.
As my neighbor said to me in 1993, "soon this will just be a bad
memory." We'll be back. I'll be indulging my carpentry hobby for a
while and putting photography on the shelf for a while. I am sorry to
miss this year the lilies that my wife cultivates along the bank. I
think they will come back next year better than ever.
Best regards,
Joel W.
