Fr. Wichert in the rain<\/p><\/div>\n

It’s raining here in Tacoma, harder than I’ve seen it rain in a long time. <\/p>\n

E<\/span>arlier this afternoon we had a bit of a water-dribbling-down-from-the-laundry-room-ceiling problem at Pistachio House, which required standing outside in the pouring storm – me on a ladder and nephew Jason holding the ladder steady – while I cleaned out the gutter.<\/p>\n

And then there was the matter of the backyard flooding, which involved me clearing muck out of the drain, water up to my elbow.<\/p>\n

Here’s a video somebody posted that gives a taste of how hard it was coming down.<\/p>\n
