Nothing like mopping your own floor before heading to a crab feed. Once the water chaos was temporarily handled, I pointed my car toward Odessa, assuming a calm evening at the annual Lions Club crab feed. I was wrong. Cars lined the streets, and inside the community hall I barely made it through the door...
