A legend passes and the weather sucks

First and foremost I have just read about the passing of a sci-fi literary legend. Arthur C. Clarke, author of the book and co-writer of the screenplay, 2001: A Space Odyssey, has died at the age of 90. My condolences go out to his family, friends, and many fans around the world.

Here in southwest Missouri, along with a large portion of the Midwest, it has been raining... and raining... and raining. It's been raining so much and so hard around here that at least three public school districts were closed today because of flash floods. This is getting ridiculous! On top of all the rain we've had so far over the last 24 hours, we still getting more tomorrow. There have been many water rescues, unfortunately, at least 3 people have died here in Missouri from the floodwaters, one right here in Greene County. All of this rain is supposed to end either late tonight or the wee hours of tomorrow with gradual clearing to mostly sunny skies tomorrow with a high of 52 F. I've told people that Mother Nature has become scizoid. She has just lost her mind. I don't get it. Oh, Well. Anyway that's all I got. To all of you out there, "Live Long and Prosper."
