anyone know where I can buy some? Maybe several truck loads?
Based on the recent rains in GA and the forecasted future rains, I am thinking I need a boat. As I understand it, this guy named Noah built a huge boat using gopher wood, and it did quite well. I am thinking I should do the same.

Old Testament Custom Woodworks, ask for Jehovah. However, I have heard that 40 days thing was a one time only event, and that the rainbow you will see after the rain passes is proof.

Well, we've had about 6" of rain over the past 2 days. This system is not expected to pass us until sometime around monday or tuesday of next week. So, the same weather for the next, oh, let's say 5 days. At the current rate, that'll be something like 21" of rain :eek:
Red clay holds a lot of water....but it also drains very, very slowly.:o

We live in a band of montmorillonite clay, which has a very high shrink swell potential, even for clays, and we have had over 15" of rain in portions of the region. Has been raining since Friday 09-11-09 here. So in summation, suck it Modo!

Is this the drought buster the south has needed or is that old news?
