Hi River

So I thought that the name suggested that the town was “high” in the foothills – but now I’m beginning to wonder.

This town on a mountainside has been flooded for a month and they cannot figure out how to get the water to run down the hill.  It’s as if nobody there can think straight.  If I was naïve I would be tempted to conclude that “Hi” was meant to describe a community of potheads.

In fact, I suspect that the problem is a lot uglier than flooding or pot smoking would imply.  My guess – the locals will never really know what hit them on the day the rains came.
