00:00Everyone lost a lot here all over the coast in Louisiana, I'm sure in Texas too.
00:05But, you know, we'll come Monday out here, we'll clean up, save everything I possibly can,
00:15and do the best we can to rebuild our lives again and move on to the next stage.
00:21We have about five or six inches in the house right now.
00:24Of course, we're on higher ground than these people back there.
00:27Well, it doesn't usually come that high.
00:30I mean, it'll get in the yard, but we normally don't flood at our house here.
00:38We may get some water, standing water, but nothing like this.
00:42Who knew we were going to have this much water?
00:45There's a lot of fragrant water.
00:48It'd been great, we, you know, had better foresight,
00:52but they kind of told us we'd have 13 inches, but not 20.
00:57Which really made the difference.

01:02Well, and deal with the floods.
01:04Usually these floods last two, three days, it's not a big deal.
01:06Get a two, maybe three feet.

01:12two or three days, once a year, maybe twice a year.
01:15But I got 350 days left to enjoy the great weather, the great environment, the water, the neighbors.
01:29So, you know, we trade off bad times for a lot of good times.
01:36But there's lots of
01:37things like when we��is is sick.
01:39Well, I've got a couple of quotes.
