A flood!
The St. Joseph River has flooded, what with all this raining and this melting of snow. Elkhart and Goshen (Indiana) and Niles (Michigan) seem to have been hit the hardest. South Bend also has been affected.
IUSB canceled its classes today. For the second time this week, I’m at home, not earning money.
I took this photo yesterday, through a window in the library at IUSB.
Let me explain a little. The school’s dorms are on the other side of the river. The footbridge that connects them to the main campus is partly under water. You wouldn’t know it, but several walking paths and a field are pretty well submerged.

The apartment complex where Karin & I live, just across the street from the river, has remained dry. The water covers our street one block to the north of us and one block to the south.
Last night, we went out to look at the encroaching water, and Karin took this very dark photo.
You can see ducks swimming in the street (look where the light is reflected). They were quack-quacking all the lovely while.
“Let’s bring out the kitties,” we said.
We didn’t do that.
Yesterday and today have been dry, but more rain is supposed to fall tonight.
