What's more current than the weather?

Ran into a little weather coming home from fencing last night. Flash flood in Choconut Valley. My cousins farm pretty near bought the... farm. The dairy cows were in the barn with wet feet when the water began to subside. A local trailer park had to be evacuated and people were pulled out of a number of cars. Amazingly, nobody was hurt. Good work by several volunteer fire departments. I went to help at the farm this morning for>1 hour, because they had things well in hand, then I came home to work my washed out driveway.

Looking good.

We get a washed out driveway since they regraded the street and made our gravel driveway steeper to intersect with it. But I just kick the gravel back up the apron onto the drive. Different order of magnitude of damage here.

Yeah and my damage was pretty minimal compared to others'. Gotta keep perspective.

Summer's finally here.

Walking man is staying inside today. Feels like 97. Ugh.

Having the tools to fix it without pressing the family into a chain gang, is a big help.

I'm fortunate there as well.

Very hot day at work, the district isn't too big on ac.
