SSDD - Same shit, different day, literally!
It hasn't rained in a couple of days. The rain catcher buckets were getting low. We all hope for a little rain.
Be careful what you wish for! We wanted a little - un poco! - rain. We got a lot. Enough that we had another little flood. Just a little one. But it was enough to bring all the stinky manure-infused mud back up in the barport. I spent the morning shoveling the same shit and debis that I've shoveled at least twice before.
This little flood was different. The river upstream was fine. The dune at the end of the river by the ocean was open. The wind was out of the south so the little waves didn't hold the water back.
No. The debris piled up under the bridge that crosses the river back to Tropical Trailrides and Villa Montana created a dam. Several of us have talked about this problem. DNRA (the Department of Natural Resources) is "supposed" to come clear the debris.
Yeah. Right. "They" are "supposed" to get the water back on. "They" are "supposed"to pickup the trash. FEMA is "supposed" to be here. I don't have a lot of faith in "they are supposed to."
The really aggravating part is DTOP (the Department of Transportation) had a backhoe and a crew here two weeks ago cleaning debris from under the "big" bridge on carr. 4466. They could have come down and cleared the little bridge in about half-an-hour. That wasn't in their work order.
Some time this week I'll try to organize a work party to start clearing the bridge.
