Gazing into the crystal ball to see what will become of the Fox River, the Des Plaines River and, just for kicks, the Wisconsin Dells as this stretch of Biblical rainfall plays out:
... the Fox and the Des Plaines will try to refuse what Wisconsin sends on down the pipe, but just as water finds its own level in your ice cube trays, some gifts from nature cannot be returned ...
... there will be sandbagging along the Chain and in Gurnee before the week is out, but, fortunately, there are many sandbags left exactly where they were from last August -- a sight that was an eyesore before the summer rains arrived ...
... up in the Dells, the question isn't whether Lake Delton will be refilled, it is how quickly. Anyone who thinks the Tommy Bartlett Ski, Sky & Stage Show should become the Tommy Bartlett Stage Show, or who thinks the Original Wisconsin Ducks should be restricted to dry land, is simply un-American ...
... while many of these issues of wetness will have to reveal themselves over time, one thing The Swami can say with ironclad certainty: after all of this unreasonable precipitation, we are going to get eaten alive by mosquitoes this summer, starting right about ... NOW.
