      We just finished upgrading the Afsluitdijk to new height and width, and the delta works had an upgrade a couple of years ago.

      The only flooding that ever happens is when the enemy launches an unexpected paradrop behind our lines.

    The crazy thing is that the Dutch (or the people who lived in what is now the Low Countries) were winning that war pretty handily until like eight thousand years ago. Then they lost Doggerland to the sea.

    Their descendants remember, though. The Dutch will rise again.
