(Chuck Muth)<\/em>\u00a0\u2013 Ugh!\u00a0 It\u2019s been one disaster after another the last twelve months.
\u00a0
First, a woman blew through a red light last October, t-boned me, and totaled my car.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n


Then Sigal Chattah got elected as Nevada\u2019s Republican National Committeewoman.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n


And yesterday, a string of concrete barriers the county set up a few months ago a block from my house diverted flash flood waters down my street, completely obliterating the north wall in our yard.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n


That wall\u2019s been standing for some 60 years.\u00a0 And they don\u2019t make walls like that one \u2013 with stone rather than brick or block \u2013 any longer.\u00a0 Probably can\u2019t be replaced.\u00a0 Really sad.
\u00a0
Once the wall came down, the flood waters rushed into our yard, creating a mini-lake.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n


And the small casita behind the house, which I use as a home-office, ended up with two feet of water in it.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n


Fortunately, I was home at the time and was able to get my computer and other electronics out before the water filled it.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n


You can see the water mark showing the water almost reaching as high as the window.\u00a0 Fortunately, I won\u2019t have to use that darned treadmill any longer!
\u00a0
Our street and driveway are completely blocked off with rocks, boulders, mud and\u2026a toilet!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n


But at least the rabbits didn\u2019t die!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n


And fortunately I\u2019m not trapped up at Burning Man like my friend and president of Americans for Tax Reform, Grover Norquist.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n


But I got a text from him this morning and he\u2019s OK.
\u00a0
Unfortunately, under the circumstances, I have to cancel\/postpone my rural\/northern Nevada campaign training tour this week.\u00a0<\/strong>
\u00a0
I\u2019m going to be busy drying out, cleaning up the mess, and maybe dealing with insurance companies.
\u00a0
Thing is, I don\u2019t even know if I\u00a0have<\/em>\u00a0flood insurance since our home had never been in a flood zone before the county erected those concrete barriers.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n


You can see how powerful the flood waters were. Look at how far off the line they got pushed.\u00a0 And those things are HEAVY.
\u00a0
Is there a lawyer in the house?
\u00a0
And I\u2019m gonna need a temporary fence so the dogs can\u2019t run away.\u00a0 Not sure who to call. \u00a0Suggestions?
\u00a0
But neither rain, nor sleet, nor raging flash flood waters will keep me from my appointed duties.\u00a0 I was working on today\u2019s usual Muth\u2019s Truths column yesterday before Koda and I had to flee the office.
\u00a0
I\u2019ll be back in the saddle ASAP, but it might be a couple days or so.\u00a0 Don\u2019t touch that dial!
\u00a0
