And then I get another call and things just keep on comming... maybe like how one would feel if they were putting sand bags up around their house to protect it from rising flood waters - and just when they have the bags up high enough and the water begins to recede he hears of another damn breaking up-river, and he's out of sand, and low on bags, and very tired but knows he has to do whatever it takes because the flooding of his house is just not an option.
