3:1

today atlanta is flooded. many say this is our '100 year flood'. it's a mind-boggling amount of water in places you don't expect to find it, that's for sure. three of the four routes from my neighborhood to the city were blocked by water at 11 am this morning. of course, i found the only way out and made it in from the burbs. only to then be trapped in town by the rising waters. go figure.

but really, i think that a 100 year flood occurring within my mere 35 years is a very good sign. it's sort of like winning the weather lottery. everyone knows that the 100 year natural disasters often don't occur with centennial regularity, it can take hundreds of years in fact to see one. yet in my lifetime i've already experienced georgia's 100 year blizzard and 100 year flood and the first tornadoes in a major metro area.

that surely demonstrates that my odds are better than the average bear.

so while the rivers rise and the mud slides, i'll be buying lottery tickets and looking for the rainbow; because i feel very lucky tonight.

d: may my extraordinary run against the odds carry on
b: 3:1 baby, 3:1
g: rained in right where i want to be
