sorry, it crossed my mind and I couldn’t resist.
That sure is WET!
muddy is twice in that list.
@CatcInTheRye - It bears repeating. I left out slick and slippery, slimy, smelly, moldy….
I like wringing wet the best!

Aren’t you glad you don’t live in Galveston…all those apply along with “flooded” and “deep water”.
been there! i KNOW that place… wait. it’s here, right?
@CatcInTheRye - don’t ever point out mistakes to susu. heh. i learned the hard way.
sounds like it is raining in your neck of the woods
quite a diverse list
I take it the weather is rainy?
bear with it even though it sounds quite grizzly. personally, i hate the rain.
very good list!
@butshebites - The weather has been rainy all summer. The upside of that is there have been no forest fires, and no dust from traffic on this dirt road.
@LuckyStars - I’m not usually in the hobby of pointing out mistakes because I don’t really care, but in that case, I’ll endeavour to point out a few percieved ones in the future.
She’s got a sharp mind, though, so mistakes are kinda rare. I think I’ve only ever noticed, like… one.
@SuSu - Are no forest fires really an upside? There are reasons our aboriginals practiced controlled burning. For one, it clears debris that could potentially build up and cause a massive, unmoderated fire. The rain may stop forest fires for now, but, come some months when there is an accumulation of dried leaves and bark on the ground because they weren’t burnt last year… well, your forest fires could become more severe.
@Apocatastasis - Forest fires happen frequently. Some of my friends have been burned out. Two summers ago, it was so smoky here from fires a few miles away, that I was breathing through a wet bandana. This was the first summer that I have not dreaded the coming of 4th of July fireworks. Lightning-caused fires are easier to deal with than those caused by arson or human error. A summer without fires here gives our smoke jumper teams a chance to travel. They were putting out fires in California this summer.
@SuSu - Chicks love a man in uniform. Maybe I should start doing volunteer work again??
(joking)
oh, the perks of being a firefighter go beyond saving kittens stuck in trees…
…not dry. Un-dry. Left of Dry. Needing a good wringing. Prime for noodles. Sponge expanding.
Fish loving, fin ready. The reason for webbed feet.
Dang..I’m just stretching and making up stuff. I guess I’m all wet. What a drip.
