PRAISE ME!

Despite almost overwhelming temptation to say something mean about the flood in Houston, I refrain. Politely and diplomatically I keep my mouth shut.
Because I care.

And I damned well deserve kudos for that.

Shan't even mention climate change.

Or laws favoring pollution.

Don't allow your kids to play in the flood waters. There are snakes and fire ants there. Do not swallow the water; it contains contaminants, and is very likely dangerous to your skin. After the water recedes, carefully remove the topsoil and place it in garbage bags.

Drainage of stagnant pools will prevent Zika, West Nile, and Dengue.
Never-the-less, wear clothes that cover most of the body, even at night.
A hazmat suit is an excellent choice.
Or a full rubber gimp outfit.

I'm just chock-full of good advice for the folks in Texas.

Much of it involves buckets.
