I promise I am not going to turn LTG into the weather channel, but damn. Every time I think it can’t get worse, Mother Nature is like “hold me beer and watch this!”

I headed out for my afternoon hike right after I posted yesterday. I was looking for a new back way out of the neighborhood but kept hitting a dead end. Finally I retreated back to the asphalt and then the skies opened up again. I went ahead and walked the subdivision to get my steps in but it was pretty unsatisfying.

Later on, after an indoor shower, there was another break in the action so I made my way down to Cheap Charlies for some brews.

Before long it was raining harder than ever. I sat there astounded as within a hour the freakin’ National Highway through town was under water. Shocking really.

I didn’t have much choice but to remain there drinking beer until the rain finally let up and the flood waters receded. After a couple of hours I managed to make my way home safely. And then it proceeded to rain all night long and into this morning.

I did sneak out for a bit today but only got as far as Rizal street.

Anyway, I’ll be back with something more substantive later. Yeah, I know. Promises, promises.

If the rain comes they run and hide their heads
They might as well be dead
If the rain comes, if the rain comes

Can you hear me, that when it rains and shines
(when it rains and shines)
It’s just a state of mind?
(when it rains and shines)
Can you hear me, can you hear me?

UPDATE: Well geez, I see I’ve used the “Stymied” title twice before. Back in January when I was trying to find the trail that has now become “My Bitch”. I also used it in July 2016 when I wrote about a sty on my eye. Clever, huh?
