The other day it was raining and I was stuck inside.
\n\"\"<\/a>It started raining like crazy outside. It was nice and cozy inside. I can barely hear the dripping of water outside.
\nOh, that\u2019s good! No, that\u2019s bad!
\nThe dripping sounded different than usual. It was just outside my door.
\nOh, that\u2019s bad! No, that\u2019s good!
\nMy curiosity caused me to open the door to look outside and discover the overflowing gutter.
\nOh, that\u2019s good! No, that\u2019s bad!
\n\"Basement<\/a> Opening the door let water rush into the house from the porch.
\nOh, that\u2019s bad! No, that\u2019s good!
\nThe water flowed into the drain missing all the stuff on the floor.
\nOh, that\u2019s good! No, that\u2019s bad!
\nThe puddle on the basement stair landing revealed a clogged drain.
\nOh, that\u2019s bad! No, that\u2019s good!
\nWe caught it before it flooded the entire basement and ruined our precious stuff.
\nOh, that\u2019s good! No, that\u2019s bad!
\n\"Ladder\"<\/a>We had to act quickly to stop the landing from filling with water.
\nOh, that\u2019s bad! No, that\u2019s good!
\nIt was clear the water was coming from the overflowing gutter and the ladder was a\u00a0 few feet away. It was cleared easily.
\nOh, that\u2019s good! No, that\u2019s bad!
\n\"Gutter<\/a> It took our attention off the water still flowing into the house from the clogged drain in the basement landing.
\nOh, that\u2019s bad! No, that\u2019s good!
\nWe got the tools, cleared and drained the clogged drain in the basement landing.
\nOh, that\u2019s good! No, that\u2019s bad!
\n\"Towels\"<\/a> I tracked gunk into the house all over the place.
\nOh, that\u2019s bad! No, that\u2019s good!
\nThere were plenty of towels to wipe up the mess and help dry things out.
\nOh, that\u2019s good! No, that\u2019s bad!
\nSome of the towels were purchased yesterday. My wife was NOT Happy!
\nOh, that\u2019s bad! No, that\u2019s good!
\nI apologized. She forgave me.
\nOh, that\u2019s good! No, that\u2019s bad!
\nI had forgotten just what a wonderful person she is. So, I told her.
\nOh, that\u2019s good! Yeah, that is good!<\/p>\n
