I technically live in a lake community, but in reality, my house is a solid mile from any significant body of water, which is fine by me because lakes stink. But that's another story. A few weeks ago it was raining like it was the end of the world, and rivers and lakes were flooding left and right. The water level of the lake near my house was noticeably high, and all the rich people with lake houses were panicking to keep their pumps working so the flooding wouldn't ruin their wonderful basement art collections. I couldn't help but laugh at them because (a) that's how I roll, and (b) my house will pretty much never flood, and that makes me happy enough to laugh at stupid rich people. I live on a ridiculously steep hill, and the elevation is at least 200 feet higher than the lake. Basically if my house flooded, the apocalypse would be upon us, so we'd all have something to worry about. But until that happens, I'll continue to laugh at rich people who live at the same elevation as major bodies of water, because they're stupid. And while it must be nice to walk out your back door and take your boat for a spin, it's also nice to not have water damage. #sociology
