Just finished watching "The Forgiven", a story of Desmond Tutu and
the Truth and Reconciliation
Commission (TRC). Well worth watching.

The 10 part Ken Burns Vietnam show is on Netflix now. That is a good
binge show. You might even recognize some of the stuff although they
do seem to be talking more about the Marines in the first few shows I
have seen.

I have to admit that I've never enjoyed a Vietnam documentary of any
kind. But, based on your
recommendation, I'll give it a shot. Most of today is supposed to be
rainy anyway, and there's no
golf to watch. Besides, Tiger really disappointed me last weekend.

I had put off some outdoor projects thinking this week would be a washout.

Last week the weather people were working overtime issuing dire warnings
of severe thunderstorms, torrential rains, flash flooding and all sorts
of calamities in our area starting last Saturday night and lasting for
most of this week.

I think I heard one, distant soft roll of thunder Saturday morning and
we had a few sprinkles that didn't even wet the roadways.Â* Yesterday was
sunny but humid with a few clouds but no rain.Â* Looks like today will be
similar.

Maybe if I go out and start my projects the rain will quickly begin.
We need some rain around here.Â* Lawns are drying up and running
sprinklers doesn't help ... just a waste of water.

Just the opposite here... 5 to 6 inches of rain the last few days, and
more scheduled for this week. On Sunday alone, Dulles Airport got 5
inches of rain. Some areas are really saturated, and I've seen news vids
of roads flooding over in low spots six feet deep. Here's a vid of the
Occoquan River adjacent to I-95 south of the DC Metro area...Normally,
it is a placid river...

My folks posted a video of the bridge near Dunkirk (rt4) that was
taking water over the road.
That is a lot of rain for you guys. 5" of rain here just means it is
tuesday ;-)
The week before Irma (Harvey) and the week of Irma gave me over 2 feet
in my rain gauge. I was emptying it a couple times a day and logging
the totals.

Are you talking about the bridge over the Pax just north of Dunkirk? It
was pretty dry earlier this morning and yesterday...plenty of rain water
sloshing around, but no run off "rivers..."

I am not sure but it looks more like a small creek. I can't find the
picture now.
