Okay then...let's talk "juxtaposition." Did I just cause you to flash back to School House Rock's Conjunction Junction? That is what I think whenever I see the word "juxtaposition" all written out.

Flood Preparedness 101
The lovely weather reminds me that I wanted to share some flood preparedness information with you.
