The Water is Wide



The flooding is bad, just not here. The "Big Muddy" overfloweth, and has breached some levees. The worst is Iowa and points north of St. Louis. We became gawkers the other night and drove down to the Arch grounds to see Old Man River out of his bed. It's not as bad as '93 here, but it is still a sight to see. Lenor K. Sullivan Avenue is completely flooded, and the water is creeping up the arch steps. The sign which indicates the riverfront is on the other side of the avenue and quite off the river bank on normal days.

We pray for all those people who have lost property and possessions and for those who still stand to lose property and posessions. We thank those who have given of themselves to help.

Your Result: The West
 

Your accent is the lowest common denominator of American speech. Unless you're a SoCal surfer, no one thinks you have an accent. And really, you may not even be from the West at all, you could easily be from Florida or one of those big Southern cities like Dallas or Atlanta.
