Kickass, the doorstop dog, passes along the information that as flood warnings prevail over the weekend, the keeper is offering to swap his spot on the ark for a bottle of Korbel brandy.
A long life of boat miseries convinces him that he does not want to be on any kind of boat with elephants and giraffes for 40 days; and a recent “cruise” experience alerted him and Phyllis to the danger of being afloat with “deniers” who claim that their fat Noah-Nothing walks on water.
A good day to stay inside with Mark Twain and a sip of brandy, and to think about building a raft.
