#1 I'm long on gopher bark futures this week. The rain and lightning storms we've had this weekend have been truly amazing. Right now I'm looking out the office window at our *sixth* drenching shower *today*. We had four feet of water in the basement of the IRS, lost an elm tree at the White House, and our poor panda bears are looking very bedraggled. Last night the ABC affiliate was reporting on the storm damage from *inside* their newsroom as water was cascading into their offices thru the ceilings. And it's s'posed to go on like this for four more days or so.

#12 One of my co-workers drove to DC on Saturday for a week's vacation. All planned out with tickets to the white house. I don't have the heart to call and ask how his vacation is going. Wife and two kids stuck in a hotel.

#13 You know gopherwood is only now found in Florida, so JEB! is hoarding it for family use only.

#16 Seafarious,

It's summer, the rain is raising the Potomac water levels. Time for the first dead kayaker of the year.
