Only during the first year or two that it was built. During that time it could be flooded to a depth of about 5 feet. During its first year a naval battle was staged in it using scaled down flat bottomed boats. Once the hypogeum was built under it flooding it was no longer possible.
The Butlerian Jihad destroyed the thinking machines on all of the human planets except Corrin. The Battle of Corrin was the battle to destroy the artificial overmind that had previously controlled all of the thinking machines.

My niece showed up this morning wearing a shirt that says “I’m a Christian. The love your neighbor kind, not the storm the capital kind”. This triggered the MAGAT half of the family so we had to hear all about the peaceful demonstration. I finally just went and sat on the porch and drank coffee with my dog. We were supposed to eat at 12:30, but it appears that it will be somewhat delayed.

Last night at the ranch was just me, my daughter, my 94 year old mom, and my dogs so it was pleasant. That all ended this morning when my MAGAT older sister came up. I’ve already been subjected to rants about how the only President worse than Carter was Biden. She also made fun of my daughter liking Taylor Swift because if she wasn’t so liberal she could get a man and wouldn’t have to only sing about her break ups. Also had to listen to rant about Talylor Swift being a bitch for telling my sister that she can’t drive an SUV while she flies around in a private jet. I’m not sure where the fuck that one came from. I’m getting reading to take my daughter into town to go to WalMart so we can be around less unpleasant people.

I bought some of the organic, peanuts only, peanut butter to make peanut butter, and banana cupcakes for Sebastian's 3rd birthday party. I found that I like that stuff much better than the processed shit, plus I can share it with the dogs
