when it rains …

It pours.

And it also floods, as it has all day in Northeastern Pennsylvania.  And my street.  I still completely stand behind my statement (made when I was relatively unaffected by the weather and safely in South Carolina during the onset of Irene) ~ don’t mess with Mother Nature, because she’s a singular force.

HOWEVER ~

This Saturday is one of the biggest home games in my history of attending Penn State Football games, and if for some reason -because Mother Nature is cranky and the Susquehanna is copiously flooding her banks- I can’t get to State College to tailgate and scream myself hoarse at the game, I am going to be supremely disappointed.

Washed out Road ~ most people turned around

Actually, there’s no way anything is stopping us from getting to PSU.  We may tailgate in rain, and swampy mud.  But if you’ve ever tailgated at Penn State, you know that’s what makes it half the fun.

Dear Mother Nature,

I know 2012 is approaching, and all this weather drama is really allowing some people to go off the deep end.  I completely understand that sometimes you just need to flex your muscles and take no prisoners.

But … if for some reason you are feeling less hostile in the next 24 – 48 hours, please consider receding these crazy flood waters and allowing us, the measly little peons of Earth, the ability to at least get across the Susquehanna and into Happy Valley.

I would be deeply grateful.

Peace & Love.
