1. it came down pretty good for a while but seems reasonable now

ln fact, looks like a drizzle.

are you in town, zuul? i'm here in bywater.

2. Lakefront. Only a few sprinkles so far.

My little back yard floods even with moderate amounts of rain. And the ground is already saturated.

3. we get street flooding, but not so far this week

my wife watches margaret orr for weather, i thought i might have to start building an ark.

good luck.

4. Now it's pouring and the back yard is flooded.

Nothing has a chance to dry out anymore between rain days. I have a balcony with indoor/outdoor carpet that can never dry out. And the back porch below is is always a mess from rain and wind-driven crap.

5. hard to deny that this has been a very wet spring

and now summer.

the cats have somehow got the idea that i can turn the rain on and off.

6. Ha! I have a feral colony of 6 who think I'm a wizard.

I feed them on my back porch. They know that when I start moving their food bowls toward the interior wall, bad weather is coming.

7. my feral colony is (at last count) 14.

they are pretty smart. they know the wife feeds them and i take them to be fixed. guess who they like best?
