Got home from work and the house is rocking with fumes from wood stain. Whee - getting high. The wood is stained for the new windows now at least, but man - sure wish today wasn’t the hottest day of the year so I could open a window. Wow. Once it cools off a […]
Here are a few more flood pics
Here are some of the flood pics from one of the guys I work with.
Wheeee - what a day. Storms moved through the area today just about lunch time. We could see the street outside my office flooding a bit - and a short while later, uhm, eek. The building fire alarm went off. It wasn’t a pulsing alarm like normal, but constant. The rain was coming down […]

Ok, so wedding numbers two and three have passed. No idea how number 2 went (Gretchen Weller) as it was in Madison, but I was in California for wedding number three. Pictures from my trip are posted in the Gallery. The wedding was one of the more fun times I have had at a […]
