Joe,

JM>>   A couple of years ago, I got LOST in a parking deck

JM>  I lost my car the other day after wandering around the Notre Dame
JM>University campus.  I spent about 90 minutes doing that and another 90
JM>trying to find the parking lot.  

  It's like a sign I saw that noted the following:

  REMEMBER WHAT YOUR CAR LOOKS LIKE. WE DO NOT OFFER VALET PARKING. <G>

JM>  Seen a lot of flooding in Missouri.

  It's bad in Kansas, Oklahoma, and Arkansas as well.

JM>  The Mississippi is at flood stage and only a few feet to spill over the
JM>levee and sandbagged areas in Hannibal.

  A levee had already been breached at Dardanelle, Arkansas (near
Russellville)..and they thought a levee had been breached in North
Little Rock. The latter one wasn't as serious as first thought...but
flash flood warnings were issued as a precaution.

JM> Those crops are all but lost this late in the year...

  Many Arkansas farmers haven't been able to get into their fields yet.

  Also, with the increased freight train traffic, as they've shut down
the Jonesboro and Pine Bluff Subdivisions through east Arkansas (the
former Southern Pacific/Cotton Belt line, now owned by Union Pacific),
and are rerouting that traffic across the Little Rock and Hoxie
Subdivisions (the former Missouri Pacific line, now owned by Union
Pacific). As a result, all Amtrak service between Saint Louis, Missouri,
and Fort Worth, Texas, has been ANNULLED until at least June 7. That
includes Little Rock...but hopefully, the floodwaters will have receded
by September.
