Mike, some parts of Arkansas have had almost 18" of rain in the last 5
days. The rivers are running full, and I saw a notice today that the
Buffalo(a national scenic river)is like 10 feet above flood stage and
higher than it's been since like 1980.
Of course everything is getting green, so it's real pretty, but now
I'm going to have to start mowing or not be able to find the house
next week.

Is that what those are for! I thought they had something to do with your
bikini top!
I'm thinking that rain cover looks pretty good.
