Rain and Mud

On Friday, Topeka set a record for precipitation on that date, 2.22 inches. A similar amount fell over in Lawrence, causing me to expect that the soccer tournament at which I was going to referee would be canceled. I was wrong. The tournament proceed, although the field where I worked had some horrible swampy areas. It was not the most enjoyable field to work on. It wouldn't have been so bad, either, if I hadn't had to do four games in a row, with the hardest one at the end. It was a difficult afternoon of hard work. Thankfully, the heavy rain is done for a while, giving this region a time to dry out.
