Ah, not everyone in the environs of the
District They Call Columbia was as happy as I about Saturday’s
rain. For me, it was restful (and didn’t flood my livingroom). But for
others…
Well, friends of mine
in a part of Fairfax County that’s still got horse properties announced that a
full day of rain washed out the four-foot culvert that supports their road over
a creek. This marooned everyone on the down-side of the creek along the
dead-end private road. Meaning the property owners will have to pay for
rebuilding the road themselves.
And get it done before
their supplies of milk, bread and single malt whisky run out.
But closer to [my] home, I was driving over to
meet a friend for dinner in the People’s Republic on Sunday when I spotted this
at the roadside.
I’d walked passed this stretch of the road
coming back from the farmers market Saturday morning, and everything was fine.
Obviously, some time between 0900 on Saturday and 1730 on Sunday, things became
not fine. This car—which I truly hope was just parked and empty—was utterly
totaled.
There’s more rain predicted throughout the
week.
