Oh, great. Just confess and implicate the rest of us?
Since my name is on a couple of those IBA witness forms, I better get my lawyer on the phone.
Just don't let my wife's family in PHX/Chandler/Gilbert know.

https://www.azfamily.com/news/Woman-dies-after-car-is-swept-away-in-flood-274373851.html So very sadly the first flash flood drowning death has been reported, every time it rains here in Arizona we lose a Citizen due to their attempting do drive through a swamped arroyo! Occurred in Tucson, but there were many close calls up here in Phoenix also! A terrible tragedy!
This man was extremely lucky, usually the driver winds up being submerged! Radio and Television Stations in Phoenix immediately start the PSA warnings!

Es Verdad Gorgeous George (aka, muy Guapo Jorge!), we Desert Rat Zonies absolutely cannot drive in the rain. I was an Army Buck Sergeant E-5 in Germany and I had a 5/4 ton truck assigned to me, I got that poor old OD Green Vehicle stuck so many damn times in snow, mud, ice and bogs that I thought my Colonel was going to Court Martial me. The 5/32nd Battalion Wrecker was always pulling me out of the muck! jes' sayin' and nuff said, ese!Time for Don to curl up in the fetal position and wait for it to pass...Don !!! don't panic you're safe. **** floats.

Things were a little dicey here in Cave Creek but, nothing like the disaster in south Phoenix.
We have that huge aquifer in the SW part of Cave Creek that soaks up a buttload of water and plenty of big washes to feed it and keep it off the flatter parts of town. Which is very cool unless you have to cross one of those washes. Like me. When I was headed into the office this morning some of Sheriff Joe's fine deputies had the road at one the washes on my route shut down and were turning back traffic. I put forward the argument that:
A: I have a good size 4-wheel drive truck.
B: I'm dumber'n a rock and won't even know there's a problem til I'm already across. And:
C: I was going to sit there and whine until they let me cross.
Thinking they were in for some entertainment, they told me to go ahead. Much to their disappointment, I made it. Barely.

No Kevin, Artillery; I was a Cannon Cocker, plus a Rocket Raider! In addition to our M102 Howitzers, we also had Honest John Rockets tipped with a nuke! JSNS!

I'm in north central Phoenix...up against the Phoenix Mountain Preserve. Most of what we dealt with was debris washed down the alleys....and the travel trailer I am repairing still leaks, so I was out in it yesterday morning getting a tarp in place!
