It was a little odd to hear NPR this morning mention both Portage, WI and "The town of Caledonia." I grew up in Caledonia, which is a township and not by any stretch of imagination an actual town. The nearest town was Portage, a low-lying piece of swamp between two major drainage systems.
So it’s not surprising that they’re having flooding issues over there.
Consider this entry a shout-out and a sympathy card to all my homies in the Caledonia area who built their homes a little too close to the dike.
