St. Louis is the new Seattle?

*October didn't go as planned. First the Cards got taken out of the playoffs in the first round. Instead the Yankees ended up winning the World Series (evil empire strikes back).
* October went down as the wettest October in St. Louis History. We got a grand total of 8.55 inches of rain! This beat the total rain fall of 8.52 in 1919. The weather records in St. Louis go back to 1874. At least Halloween was nice and dry for the kiddos. Now it is mid November.
*Next Sat. is Scouting for Food Collection Day. So be sure to put out the bag of food on your front porch before 10 AM. That's the official pick up time. I will be spending my day at the firehouse, unloading vechicles, sorting, and boxing foot. This is my 8th year working at the firehouse! I am super excited. Scouting for Food Collection Day is my favorite service project ever!!
*Monday morning the rain begins yet again. There is an 80% chance of rain in the St. Louis area. Rain will continue until mid-week. So that brings to mind the question: Has St. Louis become the new Seattle? I hope not. I know we are in the fall season, and we don't see the sun as often/strong, but going longer than 10 days w/o sun? Not fun. So hopefully the rain will last a day or two. Pray for the sun!
