Ill ask Qanon  Some people constantly live in total paranoia. You, definitely, are not one of them.

Lack of self-importance and lack of paranoia; refreshing.

Importance and self-importance are light years apart. One can be extremely important to others without feeling their own value.

May God bless America and those who defend her.

The first question they ask a paranoid at the mental health center is, why do you think you are important enough for the government to be out to get you?
And if thats the gist of it
I celebrate my lack of importance.
The conversations about this flood, are complicated, because while beyond what I consider a level of healthy concern, I was prepared for I it. The hardest part was moving stuff around.
But, the facts are, that within just a couple miles of here, there are tens of Thousands of people whos lives were upended.
So, it would be inappropriate, for me too report too much on my fascination with the power of nature. Watching a damn burst on live TV is an awe inspiring event.
Seeing a 2000 acre lake turned into a Sandune is awe inspiring.
And seeing a massive bridge that I just installed under 30 feet of water with trees hanging from the road deck is very cool. But its just a bridge.
The poor devils that lived and worked just downstream from the bridge well, nice not so hot for them now.
You cannot lose sight of all of those people just on the other side of the hill from me, who are suffering.
And its more important for me to worry about their well-being.
Out there doing it best I can.

What stuck out when we got flooded was the rallying of regular folks out helping each other. When my wife and I started filling sand bags a neighbor noticed and within minutes there were 20+ people at our place. The worst can bring out the best. It was humbling.

Ill ask Qanon Im glad the flood didnt get you. This government wont get you. But, nonetheless, the tools are very much in place for one that would. Lack of importance did not save the 100 million people it is estimated that lost their lives to government in the last century. Few of them were any more important than you. Best, Ted

They first suspected I had Cancer in 2009.
Told me I would die from it in 2010.
Yet here I am still.
All that worrying gets in the way of living.
Gotta go over to Sanford and shovel mud for a few hours.
No one will even notice I was there.
Just the mud that got moved out to the street.
Out there doing it best I can.

Well CZ, you might want to look like you're waiting around for help at an appropiate distance. Pick up a shovel and appear to be gett'in it done with a bunch of other folks will probably get you noticed by your governess.
Naw, glad things worked out okay for you folks. Watch your back, your shovelling technique that is.
