You're sh*#^ing me.

Amy sent me this, with a little note: "To all the Katrina victims, just to make them feel more at home."

Yes, our state currently has a couple thousand evacuees. Yes, we do get the occasional tropical system that scoots straight up the Sea of Cortez/Gulf of Baja. And yes, this pattern is what caused the 1983 floods. We do flood, in Tucson, on the reasonably regular basis of about every ten years. The last one was in 1993. I've been thinking that we're due.

And yet, the first words out of my mouth when I saw it were, "You're shitting me."
