Woke up listening to the local morning news.  Here’s basically what was discussed:

• Holy Cow!  Did we get a lot of rain or what?
• If you’re driving to work, be careful.  Road conditions are atrocious, and there are a lot of idiots on the road.
• The university is delaying classes today because most of its streets are underwater.  Just like it does every time it rains.
• A local man has been seen building a rather large boat and gathering examples of all the local animals.  County inspectors plan to visit him today if they can get their truck out of the water.
• Did we mention that it’s still raining?  
• Local high school kids have learned how to dribble a basketball and throw it at a hoop. 
• We have flash flood warnings for all of the places that usually get flash flood warnings, but we’re going to tell you so that you know.   
• The Secretary of the Treasury is coming to town to discuss the President’s proposed jobs bill with people who already have a job.
• In supposedly related news, one of the local large employers is hiring a good chunk of people.  Here are a few interviews with folks who hope to get some of those jobs.
• Just to recap before we repeat this in the second half of the hour:  It’s been raining hard for about 8 hours, driving to work is taking your life in your own hands, university students have a couple extra hours to sleep it off this morning, something about jobs, and did we mention it’s raining?
