Something Interesting (Nothing to do with Uros)

Well, for most of you who live in the most part, in or around the Tampa Bay Area... well you should know that we're soaked, rain, rain, rain. Not one day for the past week has it not rained heavily where I live. Ummm, well anyway.. today, it is raining as usual.. and I'm at the library. My mom was too busy with her work so I took my little brother to get something to eat at McDonald's. Anyway, just as we're about to leave he walks up to the window and says "Uhhh.. there's a cat fish swimming in the parking lot" I laughed at him and thought he was joking about how it was raining so much but I got up anyway, out of curiousity.. and sure enough there was a cat fish flopping around in the parking lot. So we put it in a cup.. and we took it. It's sitting in a tub full of water and we're gonna take it home and let it go in the creek.

Just thought I would humor some of you

We got completely soaked, hah. We have this creek right up our street and it runs into this little gully thing that the water flows in and out of.. dunno which, maybe both. Anyway, it curves around over to two other streets, and follows on up to a lake thingy mer bob. It had rained so much that the water intake was much slower and the water started to go over the edge of the gully thing on to our street.. the sewer thingy overflowed with water too.. so if you could imagine.

Park Blvd. Was also waist deep.. heh heh. I would send some to you guys but we need all that we can get. It's raining as I type.
