The Danube Overflowing OK, I exaggerate, but I thought I’d show you some pictures of the Danube at its highest point, like, ever.

It strikes me as a little odd that I would never have known about this if it weren’t for my “Budapest” feed on Flickr. True, it looks like no one’s life is in danger, but sheesh!

Some more great pictures here, here, and here.

Oh, parenthetically, speaking of things the American press isn’t really addressing, what’s going on in Belarus is more interesting and important than CNN would have you believe. For detail and depth, please visit my friend Garth.
