Correction:

 

(The real estate market value for our block isn’t $200,000 (two hundred thousand dollars) and that leads us to believe that it’s a middle class professional working neighborhood because the average (median) annual salaried income for a family of four seems to be $50,000 (fifty thousand dollars,) however, in the Twin Cities the average (median) annual salaried income for a family of four is $38,000 (thirty eight thousand, 2014).)

Hello.

 

 

***

Graduate Class of 2014

 

            Thank you to all of the Graduates’ parents and family members and teachers and professors and administrators and staff for getting our graduates of the class of 2014 to this podium.

 

            I’m grateful to be here today with all of you.

 

Thank you for inviting me to be a part of such a glorious celebration.

 

            I’m not really sure as to what wisdom to best bestow upon you since you’re the only ones who can and will walk your path in life towards growth and development and wisdom and old age and death and legacy.

 

There’s nothing I can say that will stop the course of your lives from happening to you.

 

I’m a blank canvas because there’s so much great wisdom to grant you nonetheless on such a tremendously incredibly wonderful day of celebration I almost ought to stop writing here and have you be on your merry way, however.

 

Since we’ve taken the time to journey and arrive at this cross road before we say our heartfelt warm goodbyes and get on with the rest of our lives then let’s begin with words of wisdom that one may not possibly expect to learn in the academic field.

 

 

****

First.

 

            First, when I was in my teens the best bit of advice I ever received from my New England East Coast Grandfather was this: “If you don’t have the money then don’t buy it.”

 

“When you do get the means to purchase what you want then purchase quality over quantity because in the long run that investment will pay off more so than a lot of cheap stuff. Artisan made goods become heirlooms for your children and that’s priceless because such goods are one of a kind, made by real people rather than mass manufactured or learn to make it yourself.”

 

            Personally, we came to discover that the best way to deal with personal debt is to get rid of as much personal debt as soon as possible and preferably slowly over time.

 

Always, shop around for the lowest interest rate because that’s where the money lenders will get you every single time.

 

When you’re ready then consolidate as many of your loans as possible. It’s totally worth it. It pays off in the long run however get low interest rates otherwise, no go.

 

(Even if one were to only pay off five dollars in the form of monthly payments to their money lenders then do it. It’ll eventually pay off. It will. Nevertheless, always choose to eat first over debt because one’s health is far more important than any collected debt gathering dust in some rich overweight glutton’s pocket that tends to eat his three square meals per day plus some and doesn’t give a damn about your health in the first place or the fact that some of you’ll starve right out of college in the real world especially with college degrees in your pockets.)

 

            Please, don’t kill yourselves trying to diminish debt, however.

 

Do take care of your personal debt as much as possible so that when you’re my age (37) then you’ll be saving towards retirement and preparing for a life after labor.

 

Take the next decade to pay off as much debt as possible so that by the time one’s in their mid thirties or early forties then hopefully one’s paid off most or all of their personal debt or school loans and will continue to make thirty year mortgage payments and car payments, however.

 

            Aside from those essentials like a mortgage or car loan: Learn to be real ‘Middle Income Earners’.

 

Learn to cook your own meals, and mend your own buttons, and tend to your own vegetable gardens because the world’s a whole new place and climate change is real especially when it comes to food production and distribution.

 

Learn to become self sufficient.

 

Learn to recognize when anything can be made or repaired with recyclable or reusable materials or when repairs must be made by professionals then take it in and get as much usage out of anything until such a resource is almost wasted away to nothing.

 

Learn to acquire as many skills as possible that will take you far in life because that type of ingrained learning sits inside your DNA waiting to get out.

 

Everything you need to know is already inside you.

 

            To this day: I still don’t own a credit card because I refuse to get owned by “the man.”

 

My lack of a credit card ownership hasn’t stopped me from getting a business loan or purchasing land or property or a vehicle.

 

Stay on top of your debt.

 

There’s no greater freedom than to own your own destiny and save for a rainy day or for retirement.

 

No, school loans or mortgages aren’t the same as personal debt in which one goes to purchase a dress at a ridiculous 17% interest and ends up paying a heck of a lot more than such item’s worth.

 

 

*****

Second.

 

            Second, the other best bit of advice I ever received from my Minnesota-Finn Grandfather was this: “When you’re secure in life then contribute back by anonymously gifting scholarship donations to scholarship funds with no strings attached. Don’t ever expect anything in return. Only hope that folks will pay-it-forward.” Done.

 

After you’ve taken a decade to get settled into society and once you’ve begun to have a bit more pocket change to throw around then don’t forget to donate to scholarship funds for the rest of your eternal lives. Please. I can’t emphasize that enough.

 

One must not forget their unspoken obligations to society at large.

 

The single most important aspect in life is Education thus We The People must ensure that private and public scholarships are available to all students of all economic status, background and walks of life.

 

One must not discriminate against any student making strides towards further education especially apprenticeships. One’s duty is to give and the rest takes care of itself.

 

Keep scholarship donations as local as possible to ensure that those who reside in our states, cities, or urban or rural communities get gifted their freedom to further and higher education through the form of scholarships.

 

 

******

Third.

 

            Third, the other best bit of advice I ever received from my Father is this: “Be respectful of everyone you meet even if you don’t like them because you never know who you’ll come across. Have fun.”

 

Yes, do mind your P’s and Q’s while in public because most of the wealthiest people I know only live on thirty-five thousand dollars ($35,000) per yearly annual household income yet they support and send students through higher education, raise and reconstruct and protect buildings, run farms free of genetically-modified foods or re-distribute their wealth for the benefit of you and others.

 

            Do mind your manners.

            Indeed.

 

            The moment that one steps outside their front door then anything goes or can happen.

 

            Have fun.

 

            Have lots of fun yet don’t ever have fun at the expense of another or it will come back to bite you much harder decades down the road after you’ve worked for everything you’ve got: that’s when you’ll be the most vulnerable because your archenemies can and most likely will take it all away from you with one word or swipe or snap of their finger.

 

People get even so don’t go out of your way to injure or hurt or harm another.

 

Learn the Ancient laws to hospitality.

 

To learn the Ancient laws to hospitality will take you further in life than any college degree will.

 

To learn the Ancient laws to hospitality will help out with relationships and communication and continuous harmony and calm and balanced outcomes.

 

            When at all possible don’t ever endanger one’s guest or visitor.

 

Mistakes will occur, however, don’t ever for any reason, harm one’s guests or the Gods will come back to most severely punish you and yours.

 

Don’t play around with others’ hearts.

 

When one doesn’t want to be in a relationship with another (romantically or otherwise) then don’t lead another by a leash yet don’t keep using them either.

 

Simply and directly and respectfully cut ties and move on.

 

Simply sever the connection (gently and sternly close the door) especially when others have caused harm or serious injury or mockery to your spirit because one must not be allowed to hurt oneself or others in the journey of life.

 

Nevertheless, the world’s a small place therefore when one’s to come across those who’ve harmed you (face-to-face,) then, if they (have the courage or) so much as respectfully approach you then by all means exchange pleasantries and move on with no hard feelings between one another.

 

            Some of my greatest moments in life have been exchanging pleasantries with my enemies at dinner parties or cocktail hour or such.

 

We’ve stood side-by-side facing the horizon and watched the sun go down or the moon rise all the while inquiring about each other’s health yet poignantly each of us knew that we were meant to go our separate ways at the end of our evening.

 

So long as one shares a common experience then one makes the best of it, mainly for the benefit of one’s host and each other’s health.

 

            What does it mean when one does respectfully dine in the company of their enemy or foe?

 

It means that one’s reached a heightened pinnacle of class and sophistication that can’t be touched because one’s spirit is centered and calm and balanced and out of reach from the other’s harm.

 

            Recently my favorite enemy invited me to their luxurious dinner party.

 

We drank expensive champagne and laughed together and earnestly hugged each other at the end of the evening because neither one of us wished the other harm yet our history shan’t ever go unchanged between us thus we parted ways and wished each other the best of everything in the entire world and we meant it.

 

My enemies love me and I them thus we respect each other tremendously nevertheless they know that I don’t hold my tongue back when they step out of bounds.

 

If, hypothetically on that night any harm would’ve come to my person or ours then there would’ve been hell to pay.

 

My enemies respect me so much that they can guarantee my safety when we get invited to their five-star meals to sit down and dine in peace.

 

We, too, guarantee their safety. Thus we sat down like kosher adults and drank to each other’s health. Opa!

 

            When one severs ties then don’t mock the other’s loss because their loss is also your very own.

 

            Loss is serious, tremendous and real.

 

            Be respectful.

 

            When at all possible learn to laugh from your belly.

 

            Have fun.

 

 

*******

We Love You.

 

            Only apologize when one’s truly wrong.

 

            When one makes mistakes then own up to them.

            Set it right.

 

            It’s okay to say, “no.”

 

            The only people we’ve ever met who were “yes” people were alcoholics or dried-up drunks or brown-nosers or arse kissers. They don’t travel far in life. Have the best interest at heart for others.

 

            Don’t ever assume anything.

            Always, ask questions.

 

            When one has arrogantly passed up an opportunity to hang out with someone cool then have the bravery to make it up to them, somehow.

 

            Don’t abandon others.

 

            Relax.

 

            Learn to forgive yourselves.      

 

            Learn to say, “I didn’t know that” at least once per day.

 

            Learn something new every single day of your lives.

 

            Breathe.

 

            Contribute.

 

            Love… Unconditionally with no strings attached.

 

            Allow for others to love you in return.

 

            Purchase land, anywhere.

 

            Don’t let go of land… unless.

 

            Fun read at least an hour per day. (Correction.)

            Watch no more than at least two hours of television per day.

 

            Get politically involved at the local level because that’s where all the power’s at.

 

            Wash your face and feet before falling asleep each night.

 

            Floss once a day.

 

            Brush your hair.

 

            Brush your teeth twice a day, the correct way so that you don’t tear away at the gum line.

 

            Drink water.

 

            Take bathroom breaks.

 

            When angry, walk away and cool down.

 

            Walk.

 

            Imagine.

 

            Think.

 

            Inspire.

 

            Become political about food.

 

            When you’re ready, get a pet and share a life with an animal.

 

            Be proactive about animal and plant life rights.

 

            Learn the stock market.

 

            Real business negotiations get made on the golf course or teleconferencing or over a non-genetically modified leisurely meal.

 

            Drink, eat and be merry.

 

            Class of 2014: We’ll carry you around in our hearts.

 

            From time-to-time, we’ll think of you and smile to ourselves, especially parents.

 

We’re ever so proud of all you’ve done and accomplished and learned. Now, apply it to real life and be fair in all of your endeavors with others.

 

We wish you love and success and peace and calm and balance and beauty and health and everything good that you wish for.

 

Tonite, we’ll raise a toast in your honor.

Here’s to you and yours.

 

Here’s to us and ours.

 

With all my love;

Gabriel

Hello.

 

 

***

United States of America’s Veterans

           

            No, I don’t have many words of wisdom other than what we know firsthand.

 

            Ever since 2010 (to be sure of the date, possibly longer) we’ve watched our extended service family members return from their military service abroad in Afghanistan.

 

We’ve watched our extended service family members lose their closest friends in battle.

 

We know all about our Nation’s Sons and Daughters who’ve come home in body bags.

 

We’re not delusional about this ‘made-up’ bloody war in the Mideast that former Vice President Cheney and his crony former President Bush bestowed upon our Nation’s citizens and civilians. We know.

 

This bloody war is disgusting.

It’s a deep shame in the bone marrow of our nation’s history.

 

            We officially know (for certain) that some of our extended service family members have been diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.

 

Our extended service family members still wait to have health services provided to them by Veteran’s Affairs in Austin, Texas.

 

Our family patiently waits.

 

We continue to wait as our family pays out-of-pocket medical and housing expenses as well as living expenses.

 

It’s been four years (for certain) that our extended family members have and will continue to cover many of these costly medical expenses because we don’t leave our wounded to waste or rot or behind on any mental battlefield to perish on their own. We don’t. We’re not the American congress.

 

            This war has gone far too long.

 

            A decade of war has devastated our families.

 

            A decade of war has devastated our communities.

 

            A decade of war has devastated our Nation.

 

            We can’t explain what this war has done to us as a family yet we know this: For certain, this war wasn’t a war that took place around the world. This war took place in our kitchens. This decade long war took place in our living rooms and in our lives.

 

We’ve done the best that we could with our wounded soldiers to restore them back to health even though it’s not enough. We know that.

 

 

****

            No matter what the media may report, we don’t forget our veterans because our service family members are those very veterans that the media speaks of.

 

This war hit so close to home, it left a gaping wound in the heart of our American families.

 

War isn’t something that we openly speak of because we’re Finn-Americans. We’re tightlipped about the things that hurt most, however.

 

Since I’m one writer of many in our family the only way that I’ve made peace with this devastating bloody war is to put words to ink.

 

            It’s a Goddamn shame and a complete disgrace that our American veterans get so much lip service from our nation’s congress when it was our service family members who actually crossed the Atlantic ocean, went abroad to the Mideast and looked directly in the eye of some religious extremist terrorist madmen and risked their lives for our nation’s politicians, their children and bloated corporations who steal from The American People while our service family members got shot at every single day of battle.

 

War isn’t something that any Nation enters into lightly. No.

 

What a disgrace to make such a mockery out of sacrificial death and our wounded returning veterans by having a bureaucratic system of paper-shoveling and ‘made-up’ data severely fail our veterans so.

 

            How dare our congress leave behind our veterans to die.

 

 

*****

            One aspect of this bloody war that has personally irritated me the most is that all the while our family members went abroad and got shot at on a daily basis: While that was happening, our banking institutions stole from our People and the real estate market stole from our People and our American government bailed out our crooked bankers and real estate crooks, who inflated and over flooded the market with balloon mortgage payments and left our People destitute and homeless yet not a single corporate crook has gone to jail over their crimes. (The Gods will punish you for what you’ve done to this country. Mark our words.)

 

            Another aspect of this bloody war that has personally irritated me the most is that all the while our family members went abroad and got shot at on a daily basis: While that was happening, our National Security System (NSA) implemented an American citizen and civilian digital spying program as our NSA turned into the next Goddamn Gestapo, Hitler, Security Service Unit (SS). Please.

 

            The American People “ain’t scared of nothin’, not even Hitler hisself.”

 

Our politicians and puppet string masters may want to kill or murder or starve off our American citizens and civilians or imprison our populations just like Hitler did with concentration camps yet one thing’s for certain: “Nobody’s comin’ in here and takin’ our freedom of speech. Nobody.”

 

Especially, not over the tapped wire or email or cell because our personal conversations are our own no matter how many corrupt judges one may purchase-up and use for their own play toys.

 

How irresponsibly and stupidly daring of our Nation’s government to think that while the NSA ‘looked up our skirts’ that our service members wouldn’t notice that our government took advantage of our private citizens and civilians during our service members’ absence while they marched off to some phony war and got their limbs blown off?

 

            We The People know for a fact that our phones are tapped.

 

            We The People know for a fact that some fat bloke without anything better to do listens-in on our phone conversations and reads through our emails while he masturbates under his crummy desk.

 

            We The People know for a fact that some government official’s pissing in his pants now that this war’s almost to a close.

 

            Why would our government be afraid of our veterans?

 

            Our government ought to be afraid of our veterans because veterans are some of the angriest body of citizens there is going as far back to the Vietnam War or even further.

 

            Our government ought to be afraid of our veterans because veterans are trained to become killing machines.

 

            Our government ought to be afraid of our veterans because veterans did cross the sea and looked their opponents square in the face and put a bullet to some bloke’s brains who wanted as much of a chance at life and prosperity for their children as we do here in America.

 

            Finally, our government ought to be afraid (scared witless) of our veterans because veterans know the truth about fake and ‘made-up’ phony wars like Afghanistan.

 

 

******

            Let’s square things off: Our Veterans will get all of their health and medical care needs and housing and living expenses met within the next year or... (no threat) there shan’t be another stupid fake war until every single last veteran first gets taken care of (going back to Vietnam or further) because veterans worked for their medical compensation and it’s owed to them. Period.

 

            Let’s square things off: The NSA doesn’t hold any power here or over there. The NSA will slowly back away within the next year. They can spy all they want, however. The NSA owes our Nation’s private citizens and civilians our Constitutional Rights and Civil Liberties and Freedom because one thing’s for certain: Our American families sacrificed our Sons and Daughters to our government’s fake congressional war thus the NSA owes THE citizens and civilians their sanity and respect and democratic alliance by keeping their nose out of our personal and private business. If anything, the NSA ought to start spying on congress and Wall Street insiders and corporate interest groups and corporate lobbyists to keep them honest. The NSA ought to straighten out their priorities and side with The People because it’s the taxpayer that pays the NSA’s salaries and health benefits. Period. Case closed.

 

Otherwise… (no threat.)

There’s always otherwise, isn’t there? Yep.

 

Hitler, Cheney and Bush reign is over.

 

Let’s move on.

This country isn’t run by politicians.

This Great Nation of ours is run by The People.

 

            Let’s square things off: Banking and real estate crooks go to prison otherwise… (no threat) The People will conceptualize, create and write policies and institute bills that will pass into law that will choke the very life out of Wall Street or any other corporate interest groups or lobbyist crooks sleeping with congress and gets their way by giving congress head rather than congress working for the better interests of its people. Get moving. Congress has one year to make things right. Period.

 

            Let’s square things off: If government so much as continues to incarcerate our American Sons and Daughters in the form of free enterprise via modern concentration camps then the veterans have all the right under the Constitution to burn down Washington, D.C. Get moving. Congress has one year to make things right. Period.

 

            Let’s square things off: Police receive their salary and health benefits from taxpayers. The taxpayers are police’s customers. Police don’t get paid by some stuffy politician who doesn’t live on the ground or has to face real daily situations or circumstances and events thus police culture must change into something more positively humanistic. Police must not assume that The People are all criminals. We demand for a culture of change otherwise… (no threat) The People will fire (let go) the entire police force across America and start anew with an entirely new generation of just humanitarians who can think for themselves rather than power hungry bullies because The People have had just about enough of this police brutality. This isn’t 1984. This is 2014. Get moving. Congress has one year to make things right. Period.

 

            Another thing: “Big Brother” can go fuck himself.

 

            Why can “Big Brother” go fuck himself?

 

            “Big Brother” can go fuck himself because he just happens to be a fictitious character (made-up) in George Orwell’s Novel “1984.”

 

            Another thing: There’re more of us than there are of those in meager power who steal from the mouths of babes.

 

            Another thing: we deserve to be treated like equal adults.

 

            It’s time for America to become adults.

            Now!

            Let’s go.

            On the double.

 

            These are none negotiable terms because the American People shan’t see their Constitutional Rights burned at the stake simply because congress thinks we’re too dumb to keep up with their rigged game of power and money.

 

Everybody’s corrupt so let’s get the pleasantries over and done with.

 

            Our extended service family members didn’t go off to a fake phony ‘made-up’ war just so that our government would incarcerate and spy and starve off our American People while our infrastructure crumbles and falls apart.

 

Our extended service family members bravely fought for a Nation that lied to them about their war and that shan’t go unnoticed.

 

Our extended service family members ought to be angry as hell for getting almost murdered like sacrificial lambs to the slaughter yet all veterans want is their freedom and medical attention.

 

How difficult is that to do?

Not very.

Logistics, people.

Let’s get going on that.

 

            We The People demand our Constitutional Rights and Civil Liberties and Freedom otherwise… (no threat) we demand Cheney’s and Bush’s head on a spike staked outside the White House. (Metaphorically, indubitably.)

 

So you see?

 

These are real stakes played with real people’s lives those which our government gambled a disastrous poker game all in the name of oil and lost.

 

We all lost.

 

Restitution’s a bitch yet The People deserve what’s coming to us.

Fair compensation.

“This for that.”

 

            Our Son’s and Daughter’s lives in exchange for our Freedom to say and write and express whatever the hell we want, however we want to, whenever we want to, to whomever we want to, without the U.S.A. Gestapo (NSA) swat teams crashing in on The People or possible incarceration (concentration camps) simply because We wish to express ourselves.

 

Our American government killed and murdered our service men and women all in the name of a fake war and that doesn’t go unnoticed. Does it?

Nope.

 

Now our Gestapo branches of government (NSA) will slowly back away from The People’s Constitutional Rights and Civil Liberties and Freedom because we finally figured out their game.

 

            “Piss off, tossers.”

            “Sad twats.”

 

Our government shan’t ever get another chance to murder our service people in cold blood all in a game of poker oil… otherwise (no threat) there’s always, otherwise.

 

Leave our private citizens and civilians be.

 

Let us be free to think and speak and express ourselves as we best see fit without that being a crime because we know who the real criminals are, some of our congress, corporate interests groups and corporate lobbyists and Wall Street insiders.

 

If our government (NSA) comes after us then We The People will personally bring Washington D.C. back to the Dark Ages because after our government murdered our service members all bets are off the table. Aren’t they? Yep.

 

            This is a New Dawn.

            Rejoice in it.

 

No one’s ever going to swindle us into blood oil again;

Not with the lives of our Son’s and Daughter’s, anyway.

 

            The People have spoken.

 

Now go away and make yourselves useful someplace else.

Scram the whole lot of you.

We no longer wish to look upon you;

Not after you murdered our People in cold oil blood.

Away with you.

Away.

 

Live and let live.

 

Peace.

 

Best Regards;

Gabriel

Footnotes:

 

            Today, I’m ever so lonesome without “Freeway” (our dog).

 

“Freeway’s” getting neutered.

 

We’ll pick him up at 10:00am tomorrow morning.

 

This is the first time since July 1, 2013 that we’ve not been without “Freeway”. We’ve spent every single day and night with “Freeway” and his absence sure is felt. I hate being without “Freeway”. Okay. I’ll stop here or I’ll get teary eyed about it. I love “Freeway” so much. (I never knew how much love one could have towards one’s pets.)

            No blog.

            We’ve got an important guest flying in.

 

            Wednesday, blog about Veterans.

 

            Friday, commencement speech for the class of 2014.

 

            Personal health note:

 

            No, I’m not sure why you guys keep emailing about “cervical cancer” or the “human papillomavirus”.

 

            No, I neither have cervical cancer nor the human papillomavirus.

 

            Again, I only address these personal health issues so that other women get treated with what I’ve been previously diagnosed because I went through a decade of having doctors tell me that my severe pain was only psychosomatic (inside my head). (As if.)

 

When one’s doubled over in pain and can’t move then the pain’s as real as it gets.

 

            Yes, when I was nineteen years old (19) a schoolmate threw me to the ground upon a hard concrete floor.

 

I hit the back of my head right on my pituitary gland.

 

At the time all seemed alright.

 

However, it wasn’t until my mid-twenties when I first hemorrhaged (gushed blood).

 

When I do hemorrhage (which is seldom) then I tend to lose about 19% of blood and that doesn’t constitute any type of endangerment it just means that I get extremely worn out to the bone. I’ve begun to eat a lot of steak. I take down vitamin D like it’s going out of style.

 

            Yes, my pituitary gland is damaged thus I must stay on birth control because it makes me calm and placid. (I don’t get any mood swings.)

 

Birth control has the opposite effect on other women: They tend to weight-gain, lose their brains (mood swings) and become completely irrational under the influence of birth control due to the fact that their hormones trick their bodies into not getting pregnant (which is the most natural thing for nature to want to do, reproduce) while my body simply gets realigned and it’s healthy and feels great under the influence of birth control. (In other words, I don’t get angry. I stay calm at all times.)

 

            Yes, because my pituitary gland is damaged I deal with cysts.

 

I have a tendency to develop cysts in the palms of my hands, sometimes on my face (which I hate because I can’t hide,) under my armpits (the size of golf balls, the last time was 2003-2004) and on my ovaries as well as along my underwear line thus I’ve switched to Eric’s boxer shorts and that seems to do the trick.) Awesome!

 

            Yes, from 2001 to 2011 I was informed by certified nurses that I had genital herpes. (I don’t.)

 

I was mortified.

 

It wasn’t until we went to specialists (2011) and they did all sorts of blood tests that not only did we find out that I don’t have a single STD yet more precisely we found out that I have a tendency to develop painful cysts that fill with water like fluid (correction) and burst and bleed thus they look like herpes when in reality they’re cysts and not sexually transmittable.

 

            Yes, I’ve begun a tendency to develop ovarian cysts therefore I hemorrhage from time to time. Period. (No, it’s not polycystic syndrome.)

 

            No, fibroid tumors aren’t cancerous, per se.

 

            Yes, fibroid tumors are benign yet they hurt like hell when they grow so large (grapefruit size) that they get embedded into the spine, colon or bladder.

 

            Okay.

 

            I hope you’ve have been educated.

 

            I’m not ungrateful, however.

            The record has to be set straight.

            Thanks for the information, regardless.

 

            Peace.

 

            Gabriel

No blog.

Monday’s off in the summer time.

 

Sunday we awoke to a flooded basement.

At 7:30am Eric began to pump out water until later that evening.

Thank goodness our basement is a cylinder block / rock.

No, nothing’s wrong with the house.

We didn’t realize that the gutters were clogged up and full.

 

Our backyard’s still swamped.

We’re still waiting to have it fenced in.

 

Monday, Eric placed in chair rails and did house projects.
