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.* Yesterday was sunny but humid with a few clouds but no rain.* 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.* 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... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VcF6obFimm4 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. https://www.facebook.com/stephen.col...5834067768719/ Ahh, yes. We were coming home from a short trip to Bowie yesterday, around 6 pm, and the cops had Route 4 shut down going south from the WaWa. Couldn't see the water, but there was also a fire because we could see the billows of smoke...probably a car wreck, flood related. Also a few landslides near Chesapeake Beach. Had to turn around and then come back down Route 2 to the merge with Route 4, just north of Huntingtown. Sometimes cops do good things, eh Krause? |

Forecast for some rain tomorrow. I'm home. Justan is out running around burning up our non-renewable resources and contributing to global warming. Don't know about that. There'll be a bumper crop of corn this year. I was out playing in the snow earlier today. Global warming, really? -- x ----Android NewsGroup Reader---- http://usenet.sinaapp.com/ |
