The Deluge



It started off like one of Michael Avenatti's clients, misty rain, but this is Texas not the Cotswolds, so fine April spray soon turned to fierce downpour followed by wind-whipped, cataclysmic deluge. No kidding, the elemental weather spirits were clearly displeased with preparations for Holy Week.




Or perhaps the explanation's natural. As the earth's magnetic field weakens prior to pole flip, so too does our old enemy, the Weather, strengthen. Regardless, the roads into town were on their way to being flooded and having a rig came in handy.




Safely back at the Compound, we stand resolute while lightning cracks overhead and rain crashes down, watching the flotsam and jetsam of a once prosperous farming community sweep by in the rising waters. Discarded weaves, dead blunt packets, broken toys, malt liquor bottles, carrion and other trash, all the usual offscouring of rural life. 

Is this the Eschaton? The dogs certainly think so, howling above the thunder and the sirens which fill the air. But no, surely this is just a harbinger of things to come. 




Speaking of which, top level bi-coastal elite Democrats don't seem too pleased with the President's plan to ship illegal immigrants to sanctuary cities like San Francisco. It's like MAGA's somehow, haha, rained on their MillSoc parade.




Didn't you get the memo, commies? Open borders begin at home.

Shelter from the storm,

LSP

I was looking at the weather radar for Texas and it looked like you were getting a good soaking!

Michael Avenatti likely wishes that he had a new stripper, Misty Rain, to represent about now. The jet is gone to the Federal Court as potential restitution for defrauding clients; the Laguna Beach house has been impounded by the Internal Revenue Service, the credit cards are maxed, CNN and MSNBC aren't returning his calls, and even any-port-in-a-storm Stormy scorns him. I doubt that he has a dog, but suspect that if he did, the dog would ankle-bite him. You know, it makes want me to break out a guitar and compose a western ballad... He may do that after the Southern District of New York indicts him as well because he'll have the rest of his life to think about it.

And fraud charges with victims exceeding $1 million means that he won't do his time at a Club Fed. Will CNN remember him while he's doing time? I will send him soap-on-a-rope once his final housing location is settled on. Will President Trump send him a tube-of-lube to make his prison nights a bit more bearable? Don't count on it.

Yep, raining cats and dogs up here too... And high is only in the mid 40s...

My Facecrap friends in Palestine said something big and scary was headed their way.

I do love thunder and lightning though. We don't get much here.

Obviously the same deluge passed over us not long after it soaked you. We shall now practice the lost art of patience, waiting for the range to dry out. Not to worry, I shall repair to the man cave, spin up a Fleetwood Mac CD, and load more ammo.

With apologies to a cartoonist whose name I cannot recall--

Michael Avenatti: "You said I would win my case".

Satan: "You said you had a soul".

Hoping the tornadoes missed you a good bit, LSP.
We had crazy wind. Didn't see a tornado, but did get the downpour.
Getting dark again at 1630 as I type this.
Glad we decided to stay home.
God bless and watch over us all.

Downpour in West Texas? Hello, aquifer. Not to mention impoundments and fishing.

Jules said...

Storm in a tea cup, as we say.

LSP said...

Jules, some people got washed away in the flood, some people got away alright. But that was in Louisiana, hmmm.

LSP said...

I was thinking exactly that, WSF.

LSP said...

Be careful, Linda! It got pretty fierce here for an hour or two.

LSP said...

RHT, Satan's most definitely discarded its failed toy.

Then there's the range. I'm off right about now to see if it's dried out and test a couple of shotguns.

LSP said...

I love it too, Adrienne, and like to stand on the porch, braving the elements. Like being on the prow or bridge of a ship in a storm, I always think.

LSP said...

NFO, I thought to myself "where are we? In some kind of supercharges Wales?!?"

Hot today, though.

LSP said...

LL, some people look at CPL these days and say, "Yes, there is a just God."

Now, the Almighty needs to close the deal by LOCKING HER UP. Please.

LSP said...

It was a right downpour, drjim! Exciting.

LindaG said...

God watched over us, Parson. Only lost a branch from an oak tree, and that a good way from the house. :)
Hope your range is okay.
