We hate that darn gubment! But thanks for the darn flood money!

Floods in Basin along the Big Horn River. Saratoga swamped by the North Platte. Creeks creeping toward flood stage in Sheridan and Johnson counties. Rez facing floods. Grand Teton National Park getting ready for high water. The Snake River keeps on rising and the snow has just started melting.

File this under "That Darn Federal Gubment:"
U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack on Friday announced that the federal government will provide $3 million in financial and technical assistance to five Western states to help battle potential flooding. Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Utah and Wyoming will each receive $600,000 in aid.
