   The drywall will have to be removed up to the height the water reached plus a few inches more. Well, if this wasn’t a cartoon it would.

   Continuing an activity that is unpleasant is a mild form of insanity.

   I have a rescue dog that is part Australian Shepherd. She was an absolute mess when I got her at age 1, but on one of our first walks together she saw a herd of feral goats. She looked at me and I gave her a hand signal to move down the road toward the goats, which she did. She flanked them and got behind the herd, then looked at me again. Another improvised hand signal (I had no experience with this, and as far as I know, neither did she) and she was driving the herd up the hill toward me, 30 to 40 feral goats with 5 to 6 foot horns. Did I forget the long horns part earlier? Sorry. We had never practiced this situation either. What was I supposed to do? The only thing I could think of was to point at the woods across the street, and she drove the goats off the road and into the woods. Had anyone been watching, they would have praised us for the calm skillful manner we used, and asked us how much training it took for her to master that task. None, I would say. None at all. It had all been programmed into her brain by her DNA.

   People who are considering doing the wrong thing always benefit from having a co-worker or friend to show them the path of righteousness. I’d guess many of us have been saved at least once by having a good angel to listen to.

   I was born and raised in Iowa, where road salt and Winter were almost synonyms. The folks got a new 1950 Buick for Christmas that year. By the time the mid to late ’50’s rolled around, the floor had some big rust holes that permitted your feet to get wet when you drove through puddles. Also, rocker panel damage, bottom of the doors, etc., etc. I live between San Antonio and Austin now, and rust really isn’t a problem.

    Would you go to a doctor or a mechanic to get those bolts tightened?
