It'll Give me Time to Catch up on my Embroidery -- That's the answer Mrs. Colin Campbell of Fargo, N.D., gave a flood rescue crew when she turned down a ride to shore. Mrs. Campbell, whose home is along the bank of the rampaging Red river, said she was comfortable and didn't intend to move. The Red hit 34.37 feet yesterday, more than 17 feet over flood stage.
