A Beautiful Day In The Neighborhood

Sadly, i missed this. I was at work.

I think i have a natural disaster fetish. I love hurricanes, for instance. Strangely, no one around here seems to sympathize with me. These Times-Union photos were taken right around here on Monday after twelve hours of rain. It's rained another forty-eight hours since then. There's probably a good reason no one in this state has a basement.

The local wildlife seem a bit agitated as well, especially the small, crunchy types. I have no idea where all the roaches go - i'm content without this information, provided it's still somewhere outside - but the ants, predictably, invaded K's car again yesterday. At the moment they're on a nice scenic trip to Gainesville. I wonder what goes through their little ant brains. I imagine it's something like the noise the bunnies make in Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit. Whee! Which is a movie you really need to see, by the way, if you haven't.
