COVID-19 has caught the world by surprise in the month of March. Like for many of you, and for the racing world, our calendars have been pretty much flipped upside down. Thank goodness for our health care workers fighting the front lines and grocery workers and delivery drivers keeping society functioning. Let's make some pots and pans noise for them at 7pm everynight.

Unfortunately, I learned that lesson the hard way. And oh boy I was in for a "deep" waters surprise. On the day our province of BC declared a state of emergency (on March 18, 2020), I had my own little home emergency.

Your questions answered:
1. Yes, that is an inch thick of pooling cold water. The landlord's toilet intake pipe broke and water funnelled down the path of least resistance (i.e. into hallway, then into the laundry room and down to the lowest point in my pain cave).
2. No, that's not an indoor triathlon swimming pool.
3. Yes, my first thought was "Noooo not the smart trainer!"
4. Yes, lesson learnt. The cat had every right for knocking on the door at 4:30am earlier in the morning. After zombie walking to feed him and didn't realizing the adjacent room had flooded. Thank goodness for work at home policy in effect. It was only day 2 and dumb luck that the landlord happened to be home and we spent the morning scooping out more than a dozen buckets of water.
