Death To Zombies

So, spent 4 hours building the sandbag wall up higher in Parkville, MO.  They still need help, and they estimate they’ll need it until 9 pm tonight.  You can check for other updates over at the Parkville website, http://www.parkvillemo.com/CivicAlerts.aspx, It was a pretty diverse range of people who showed up to help out.  There were pimply kids, middle aged workers(some out of work unfortunately), old aged men and god bless the young woman who showed up with a plunging neckline.  I could have kept passing her sandbags all afternoon long.

But in all seriousness, if you’re local consider stopping by and helping out.  They’ve got plenty of ice cold water, free tetanus shots and some snacks.  They activated this activity pretty early compared to when the flood water is expected to arrive.  Since this is a result of opening dams upriver of us, they can actually predict that the waters will rise in a week to two weeks.  In essence, this is a result of the hard winter much of the nation had and added to the rocky snowpack.

I am dog tired and spent most of the afternoon laying in the air conditioning and letting my muscles twitch.  Now I need to eat a nice meal.

We’re still facing a flood problem in the Kansas City Metro and we may get a thunderstorm this afternoon.  If you have time and are in the metro, come on down to the American Legion on Main St and help us out.  You need to be 16, have photo ID(ridiculous if you ask me), and show up ready to work.  Ready to work, for anyone who reads this blog already knows, means gloves, boots, sunscreen, insect repellant, hat, water.  You know, don’t show up like a dumbass on your first day of boot camp.

I’m heading down now.
