He told me the irrigation water goes down the ditch. That's typical for irrigation water, but there was no ditch in sight! I finally figured he was talking about the gutter. Apparently, about 50 years ago, there was a ditch and they replaced it with curb and gutter, and he still calls it "the ditch." And then my husband (also old) referred to the gutter as "the ditch" so maybe it's an old person thing.

My sisters talk about that flood and we have some pictures of them sitting on sand bags downtown when Bob and Cathie went to aid in the efforts on Main Street.
