Pseudo-July

*-I have a pic to insert here, not letting me yet!-
It's not quite July yet, but it sure feels like it...
...
Truckloads of tourists have just arrived in all the window views from my apartment perch. Getting a jump on the traffic rush, no doubt, sure to begin this week-end, while I attempt to get to work on time. I'd left fifteen minutes ahead of schedule Monday, just to get stopped in heavy traffic back-up spilled over onto my secondary route choice because of an accident on a parallel Highway.
...
Up the street where they'll have the main 4th party-grounds n flea-market, the carnival ride rigs are already parked in the main lot where the roads will soon be barricaded for foot-traffic only. I'll be missing most of the fun this round. They scheduled fireworks with the annual Summerfest for Saturday, n I gotta work. I have the 4th off, but there's nothing happening Tuesday... it figures!
...
Sometimes it feels like everyone has the week off except me, but it's not exactly the case. All the medical, entertainment, n food service workers are doin overtime for sure!
...
The weather guys are just guessing the expected conditions on the week-end (Cloudy n maybe afternoon rain). But so far, at least, Saturday looks good. Crowds of summer people get very bored n cranky when it rains alot around here... It's certainly gonna be a drunken neighborhood all week!
...
Caught enough news today to hear there's lotsa floodin with heavy rain happenin all over DC, PA (at least 10 deaths reported), Jersey, n MD (Mid-Atlantic region). Just like the situation which occurred here in MA, (NorthEast region) this past Mother's Day Week-end, posted about earlier.
Over a foot of rain'll do it every time!
Mostly because of those darn dams!
...
I hope Neo hasn't paddled down-stream yet... Tis the year for flooding... 300-year storms, 100-year storms, PA had a 50-year storm, n there's still desert firestorms around in AZ. So many weather records have been broken within the past year, it's truelly frightening!
We know the planet is a bit off-normal, but how bad it this gonna get? Should life-boats be mandatory house-hold equiptment? We all need to consider what'll make us feel safe, n
