A short history of an art major venturing outside the free-lance world into actual art, a use-to-be bicycle racer, and a fascination with the other side of the world.

The Weather Outside is Frightful
At about 8:00 last night, we got nothing but rain and lots of it. The precipt kept coming down all night with little relief and it was interesting to watch the entire back porch disappear under a 1-2" layer of water. The carport was full of water as was the back half of the driveway and the street wasn't doing too good either. Jonnene expressed some concern about water getting into the house but I was pretty sure it wouldn't happen. At least I felt that I felt pretty sure about it....
Now all the rain is gone but there are still plenty of areas dealing with flood water, but we're not one of them. My mom's house lost its power early this morning and water got into the patio room so they'll have to deal with that and get it dried out. I'm not going to bother with my usual Wednesday time trial ride since I have gotten the impression from the radio and weather channels that Ellerbe Road around Wallace Lake might be under water. I've seen it like that before and you can't ride it on a bike. I wouldn't even advise it in a car. So I'm taking the day off, from the bike and from any working out....a holiday of sorts. I'll try to get a morning run or ride Thursday but I'm less than 10 days from the duathlon up in Arkansas on Memorial Day. Then it's the stage race in Alexandria just five days later. Gotta get on the ball and drop a couple more pounds if I can!
