Flood aftermath
The aftermath of the flood
reveals no major damage, though I had to clear a lot of debris off the
footbridge. At least four snails seemed to have survived washing
down the creek, and I carefully plucked them to safety on the shore
before brushing the rest of the debris back into the water. I
pondered whether it would be worth it to harvest all of the sticks for
mulch --- maybe next time.

I know... 
Most of it seems to be empty water and soft drink bottles, which always look almost useful to me. I need to think of a way to turn them into something cool, then I'll have an incentive to pull them out of the creek as they float past!
