flood postmortem

things that washed up in our yard:

we can’t figure out how this got here, or where the other half is. the nearest state patrol field office is in cedar rapids.

we think the picnic table may have come from the park about a half-mile upstream.

tripped on this huge jug of deadly poison while hauling up sandbags from the neighbor’s house. happily the seal was intact, but makes you wonder what else is in that water you’ve been slogging through…

this is my favorite find. as you can see, it’s from the famous Ayinger brewery in Bavaria and traveled a long way to become my new fifteen-gallon brew kettle under the sacred law of Finders Keepers.

items not pictured that also drifted by during the flood: two trash barrels, a door, several trees, and something we think was a buoy that got loose from the reservoir.
