Well, yesterday I walked the walk and today you have to listen to me talk the talk.
We have had, like everyone on the east coast, some more rain. Actually Sunday night we had about two inches in maybe ten minutes. Well, not that bad but I will bet we did have two inches. We had to go across town and got caught in it. So we had a good chance to witness the real stupidity of man. There is a reason not to drive in that puddle bud! You may not come out the other end. In the middle of Columbia we saw this happen. Redneck water slides. Come down the hill as fast as you can, hit the water and wheeeeeeee-ho. Watch the water fly. At least until your car stops in the middle of it and you then have to walk out. Moron!
So yesterday I was out on the Riverwalk.
These are the bathrooms, the new roof and the new tree through the new roof. They have from left to right ladies rooms and men's room. In the middle is something called "Other". God only knows what that is and he ain't talking. The tree is a medium aged oak what had too much water around it's roots and simply toppled over. After seeing this, I had no idea what was in store for me on the walk itself.
At just about it's highest here, but yesterday it was down considerable. We'll see what happens today. You can see the picnic table on the left quadrant. Here it was on Monday.
So in about three days the water had receded that much. Probably 15 feet lower. All the water has brought with it some serious erosion as the color of the water suggests...it's muddy and that mud had to come from somewhere.
Two weeks ago the construction guys were standing to the right of that fence, which is new, and now it's gone. Bad spot there with not a lot of vegetation to hold the bank in place.
We'll see what it looks like today.
Big time news from FAA. They bought something called Pixels.com and will now be able to put our photos on things like iPhone cases. And more down the road. Click here to get to my page, select a photo to see the iphone stuff. More to come!
