This is actually the worst I have ever seen it. These pics are taken on Court Ave which is the main drag through town. Best part is they just spent I don't know how much damn tax money putting in a new storm sewer system to prevent this and it's worse then ever has been.


Oh and one of the pics you see a person that appearently has been living in a cave and hasn't heard the constant safety psa's telling you to NOT drive through water.

It'd be nice to get some of that here. Again this summer, I seem to be in a little rain-free bubble here.

Too hot. I don't have a shop to work in, so I'm frying the top of my almost bald head. After almost two years, I still don't know if I really like it here. It's much hotter, no rain really, and the wind.........
On the plus side, there is a lot more snow here and fewer people, plus some really nice views.
