A couple of years ago, I got LOST in a parking deck
I lost my car the other day after wandering around the Notre Dame University campus. I spent about 90 minutes doing that and another 90 trying to find the parking lot. :)
Seen a lot of flooding in Missouri.
The Mississippi is at flood stage and only a few feet to spill over
the levee and sandbagged areas in Hannibal.
And so many farms are either vast stretches of mud or under water in
large "lakes". Streams and rivers are over flood stage, wide and
rapid. Roads are closed and/or restricted here and there. Had to
take a detour into the depths of darkest Missouri.
Those crops are all but lost this late in the year...

When my car was switched out in Del Rio, TX I was given one with CA plates rather than WV.
