As many of you probably know, we Kansans had us some rains yesterday.  “Torrential” is a word overused in this situation, but this was the kind of rain where, if you were caught out in it, you would have to keep your face pointed down in order to breath.  It looked as if someone were continuously pouring 55-gallon drums of water over everything.

This afternoon I heard of one Topekan who came home from work to find every bit of cedar mulch from his front yard was gone — from the flower beds, from around the trees, all of it — washed down the driveway, into the street, into the gutter, down the storm drain.  All gone.

He let himself into his house and walked out to his patio.  There were five bags of cedar mulch, washed into his back yard from somebody else’s landscaping project.
