There's a huge scale difference between your idea of "creek" and
"flood" and mine.

That's a 2 hour 20 minute long movie with Spanish subtitles. Do I

Oh, Carice van Houten. And I _have_ seen her in something besides
Game of Thrones.

I had to Google for her. She's recent enough that I wouldn't
spontaneously think of her, but when I see her name I recognize
it as Dutch.

I remember the first color stain. He had spilled a bit of
paint on his driveway. He then took a hose to wash it off
and created a large puddle of paint-dyed water but then
just left it there to dry rather then continue to hose
off all the colored water.

He sent before and after hosing pictures. It was a
disturbing thing to see.

The second color probably the same thing or maybe he's
washing his brushes on the driveway and not washing
it all off.

Yes, she'd be the second best known Dutch actor/actress
internationally. Probably better known than Hauer with younger people.

Let’s not forget Milhouse van Houten from the Simpsons and Emily VanCamp
(Oohlala!). I thought Rutger Hauer was German, so I learn something every day
and, alas, forget it the next.

There's two basketball stars named Van Arsedale. And a lawyer by
the same name. Are you related?

I wonder if they partake in your hobby too.

I remember him in Left Luggage. And, of course, in Dutch movies such
as Soldaat van Oranje/Soldier of Orange. That was his biggest hit.

I imagine it would have been. It's kinda disturbing to view the last

"Creek"? It's couldn't even reasonably be called a ditch. Are you

LOL! It kind of looks like one of the roofers' truck tires ran off the
cement on one side and created a short, shallow rut in the yard. It
sure isn't a "creek" or even a respectable drainage ditch. I do hope he
doesn't ever encounter actual flooding because that little trough would
be useless.

Happens here all the time when cheapskates don't install culverts...
then costs 50 times more to repair the erosion.
When I moved here the last owners never repaired the culvert by the
barn, so I had it repaired immediately and saved myself a lot of
grief... $200 well spent:
