Nature’s wisdom

The question you don’t want to ask, when the river is flowing into your basement, is the one I asked my husband—“Honey, do we still have flood insurance?”

The answer was “no” of course, with an explanation, between buckets, about the quadrupled premiums after Hurricane Ivan, for which we had no claim. I guess he figured the odds were good that there wouldn’t be two “hundred-year floods” in our lifetime. So much for gambling.
