Whilst we're waiting for Sue, I'll throw one in here.  This should be pretty easy.

I have reached my capacity today.  I provide jobs, transportation and habitat in the land in which I live.  I typically meander peacefully, but when I reach my capacity, watch out.  I drain most of a continent.  What am I?

Yes, ma'm.  It is flooding horribly today.  Those big river floods are so devastating.  I think the last time it flooded like this was the summer of '93 and some of the small towns along the river were under water for months.

That's one thing about the USA.  We are a very blessed country when it comes to peace and prosperity, but we have our share of natural disasters.

Thank you Ruth.

Please carry on without me, as I'm in and out rarely today.

Here's a quick question -

Who completed some of his finest work in Dove Cottage?

Wordsworth.  

I'm pretty sure of this one, so here's another question.

What does a 202 ft. monument in London, designed by Sir Christopher Wren, commemorate?
