This is our first year of gardening. We have a small 7'x8' garden planted
with tomatoes, peppers, carrots, radishes and green beans. We have recently
picked radishes and really got a thrill out of knowing we grew them. It's
so satisfying to see...to hold in your hands...the fruit of your labors.
How rewarding. Here are some garden pics we took a few days ago in the
backyard. http://www.geocities.com/hud_ohio/garden.html

It looks like it's going to be another scorcher of a day here in Ohio. We
have been experiencing drought. Our grass has gone dormant and turned
brown. The farmers are praying for rain. Yesterday we took a drive and the
corn is in desperate need of water. A friend of mine has already turned his
corn under.

Quite a few have died in the floods too, some areas have had a months rain
in 24hrs.

But nothing like the horror of New Orleans.

But, but, New Orleans was man made horror.

It could be argued that the flood victims in Britain are the result of
man-made horrors.

There is a poorly maintained (understandably) dam which is threatening to
leak. There are man-made drains which can't cope. There are villages built
in the 'wrong' places. There is a lack of flood defences in many areas.
There is a record of lack of funding or even reduced funding for all those
situations.

The rain which fell from the skies in both places was not man-made.

What I'm saying is that there have been, to date, five or six recorded
deaths due to the excessive rain in Britain. How many died in NO?
