[Mgs] Floods and MG's

I live in Lincoln County, Missouri and travel daily through the towns of 
Clarksville, Elsberry, and Winfield on a 100 mile round trip commute.  
You may have read about these towns in the news.  What used to be 
farmland is now a vast ocean.  The flood has closed the major 
thoroughfares which required me to take my MGA through the hills (curvy 
gravel roads and all).  But it was a blast  --  at least when all four 
cylinders were kicking in (see sticky valve posts).  I got quite a few 
stares from the MP's patrolling the areas as my MGA passed their wide 
Humvees on these twisty little roads.  The worst hazard, however, is the 
hundreds of deer that are being forced out of the bottom grounds and are 
all congregating on the roadsides. It is hard to miss them when they 
travel across. The views from the bluffs are breath taking  --  
beautiful but sad too.  I wonder if Monte is having the same experiences 
in Hannibal.
