Monday night – Paul

Driving to work today was pretty freaky.. the roads were in bad shape from last nights flooding..

 

High point of the day was having lunch with my old freind Paul.. havent seen him in years.. but he hasn’t changed much.. still super smart.. and interested in everything !

 

I love reconnecting with old freinds.. .. how come they dont seem as old as me 🙂 ?

Sunday night – Even more rain !

This afternoon we went op to see Tim and Jen.. They invited us to watch the live stream from the boat Nate is on in the artic. He’s the video tech for a research vessel looking at deep see geology and see life. It was really mesmerizing.. I think it like 3000 meters down… we watched them take a few specimens of rocks ysing the remote sub.. so cool !

 

Jen showed us some new pottery art she was doing.. she s so mazing.. 

 

From there we went to drop off the CRV at Burlington Muffler.. .. it was about 8:30 at night.. the skies were partly sunny.. suddenly it switched to a total downpour.. As I was driving through Richmond, the streets quickly filled with water and the sidewalks became  waterfalls !

 

 

By the time we dropped the car and came home. only 30 minutes.. .all the roads into richmond were underwater and closed.. Rt 2, Cochran Rd, Duxbury Rd./. we tried to come back via Fays Corner.. there we found that the small stream that usually runs by the road had come completely over the road.. and it had washed away a good chunk of the asphalt on a section of the Huntington road. We ended up snaking our way through swamp road, Sherman  Hollow and Dugway to get back home.

It was absolutely crazy !

Nite all, nite sam
