Every few hours I bail Alex's house, and it keeps raining. I sure hope he gets a squash this year, but it's not looking good.

I ran the Calgary Marathon Sunday morning, and came back to Taber that night to keep bailing his plants out. I could barely move my legs and there I was, trying to stay on the boards and move water. That night was more painful than the actual run.

I pulled the power to the heating cables early last week. I didn't really feel like getting zapped. It is just too saturated, and it has been for a few weeks now and the water has no place to go. The really scary part is May is usually nice and June is the rainy season. If that trend for June is true, we're hooped.
