This and That

Luckily only some sprinkling rain today which wasn't enough for the phone pole to fall over. I called and emailed the phone company (Qwest), but with all the rain they say they are really busy and won't be here until maybe Thursday. After talking to the electric company we found out they had also called the Qwest and Comcast to move their lines because they can't remove the pole until they do. Comcast didn't show up today either.
I kept thinking it was going to rain hard again today which kept me from going out and doing anything. Tomorrow I will go whether it looks like rain or not. It isn't the rain I am afraid of, it is the flooding. I have seen too many films of cars floating down the Albuquerque streets lately. So far we have 252% of our normal yearly rain. It didn't rain much until July so most of that we got in about a month and a half.
I am looking forward to Whitley Strieber on c2c Thursday. I know Noory won't have read the new book (The Grays) and won't ask any of the questions I would ask after I read it, but I still think it should be interesting. Probably the best guest to be on c2c in ages.
Hope all is well with everyone!

Wow - that's a lot of wet for your area isn't it? Don't you usually just have T storms in the afternoons this time of year?

Normally we are lucky to have any rain in August. July we get storms and it might rain for 15-30 minutes, but not hard, drenching rain for hours like we have had lately.
