The deluge hit here around 8:00 this morning. Lots of thunder and lightning to go with all the rain. Unbelievable! frown

Because of a shitty repaving job on my street a couple of years ago, the asphalt level is now too high in many spots where the sidewalk curb meets the paved road - in other words, the sidewalks were partially underwater in just a few minutes.

I was seriously considering building an Ark, but within an hour things had subsided to a very light drizzle. And a good thing too, because that's when I had to leave and keep an important appointment.

I don't mind a little rain (well, actually, I do...), but this morning was frightening.

"For me, there's only my wife..."

"Sure I cook with wine - sometimes I even add it to the food!"

"When life itself seems lunatic, who knows where madness lies?"

"It was a grass harp... And we listened."

"Do any human beings ever realize life while they live it? Every, every minute?"

"No. Saints and poets, maybe... they do some."
