Good job! The comparison to the “Mississippi River flowing through your home” is a good one.

Tell the good folks not to worry about a thing, Dan……once the President does a fly-over, everything will start to get better. Works every time.
Wasn’t Newt Gingrich cursing the Supreme Court this weekend for it’s Habeas Corpus decision? Claiming that we “could lose a major American city”? Clearly, losing major cities is not that big a concern for those with the power to prevent/repair it.
Great reporting, Dan. You can hear your heart in it.
