...And if the Crick Don't Rise...
You need a topographical map to get around Greenwich today. Your scribe was coming down Put's Hill on the Post Road today, and discovered a lake at the bottom where Hillside Drive comes in. So he performed a uie, and went over to Bruce Park instead.
The park itself was underwater, but the long way around was passable. Many of the local streets in Cos Cob are flooded, and as I write this from the Cos Cob Library, the librarians are lined up at the window watching the roiling floodwaters of Strickland's Brook race over rather than under the bridge. And still the rain comes down....
The last time we had such a water event, back in December of 1992, the cops were all over blocking off the flooded roads and redirecting traffic. Today, the GG is nowhere to be seen, and the Hummers and SUVs race through the lakes with barely a tap on the brakes. Let's hope they don't meet their evil twins coming in the other direction with equally wet brakes, pleasantly karmic though the thought may be. The roads are bad enough today without tangled megatons of mangled steel to compound the problems.
OK, that's it for now...your scribe is heading off on another tour of inspection. Remember to keep to the high ground, dear reader, in everything you do - including your driving.

I never realized that uie was how you spelled the act of performing a U-turn.
Ya learn something new every day....
