Hey, farmers and people who live on flood plains! If all the recent water that fell from the sky has got you down in the dumps, turn that frown upside down and do something useful – perhaps even pleasurable – with the giant pond that’s formed over you yard/house/income-providing alfalfa field. Why not go waterskiing?

More than six inches of rain fell in Durand last week, and while it’s destroyed some crops, it allowed a few guys named Dave and Bob to have tons of watery fun. WEAU.com has the story – with video. Basically, Dave straps on some water skis and grabs a rope tied to Bob’s jeep. Then Bob lets ’er rip and charges the jeep though an alfalfa field alongside some pesky flood water, pulling Dave upon the water.

In other words, it’s a real life Mountain Dew commercial.
