Things which suck about water 04:50 pm
Generally I really like rain. It's starting to interfere with my lifestyle, though, and that will not do.

We've had some near-record rainfall this past week, and there's supposed to be more tonight and tomorrow. Lots of roads have washed out, and though the river's already nearly flooded, they're releasing more water from dams upstream so as not to break the dams.

Which means I can't go rowing tonight. It's kind of cold anyway, but still. I haven't been in more than a week.

Things have been fine at work. We had some plumbing issues today but nothing serious & it all got fixed.

There's water in the basement of this house. I don't own the house, so I guess it's no big concern, but my dryer sheets are soaked through :( and it's no fun doing laundry standing in puddles anyway. Looks like it's come through at one point on the wall. I'll be letting the owners know.

None of which is nearly as bad as the serious flooding they've had at the Fort William Historic Site just outside of town. This is the second flood for them in three years. Looks like it'll be closed for a few months, at least. And now that I'm at home I can't seem to find any pictures online.


I'm going to be putting up a post on facebook shortly which is not entitled "things which suck about Bill C-61" but may as well be. If you're in Canada and don't know what's going on with that, you may want to become informed.
