Water
Everywhere I look, there is water!!! I can't help but say that I'm a little tired of it. We've had two downpours in the last four hours, and a third one is happening right now. I came back from town and had to lock the 4Runner in to 4wheel drive in order to navigate the country roads. Sick!
What's worse is this is NOT helping the flooding situation in the state. The ground is already so saturated that the water has no where to go....but in to already swollen rivers, creeks, dams.
My heart aches for the communities in the Minot area. The Souris river has overflowed and caused 12,000 people to flee their homes. And with the recent rains, it doesn't look like the water is going to be receding anytime soon. I told someone the other day that when the water does recede in both Minot and Bismarck, I'm going to go for a weekend and just help wherever and whomever I can. It's the least that I can do. Wish I could do more.
I was talking to one of my former crop insurance adjusters today and he was telling me that the amount of claims (loss) in the industry is enormous and he doesn't know how they are all going to get worked. I think if I wanted back in to the industry, now would be the time. I'm pretty sure I could make good money going out in the field with a team of adjusters and handling claims or even just processing them. The million dollar question is...do I want in to that rat race again?
