Very light drizzle here in the SW burbs. System appears to be starting to move out. Some of the standing water receded quite a bit overnight. I think we got about 2" to 2.5" of rain total.

Tomorrow afternoon and Saturday, while cloudy at times, should be dry and very nice temperature wise.

Just a little drizzle on my ride this morning. But when I got out on the Northwestern lakefill the waves were so furious they were coming up onto the path along with sand and rocks. When I got to the Sailboating Center the path was so deep in sand I had to portage my bike.

But no foxes, hills or lakes?

They got quite a bit of rain in Black Hole Sun but it washed away pretty quickly.

Well, it was empty when left. It was almost full when I picked it up. I measured the depth of water with a ruler. There is a slight barrel to the shape of the cup, the water measured about 3-3/4" deep...I guesstimated a little more to make up for the barrel shape.

Crazy storm just came thru here. 3 semis tipped over on the high way, power lines and trees down everywhere. So far all I can tell is I had a few shingles blown off and our trampoline is in pretty bad shape in the neighbors yard.

Yep it was staked down. It tipped over semis and blew down trees, a few stakes don't really matter

Shit ... was gonna say something much less amusing like "hey, the new jungle gym arrived".

Is 'jungle' gym offensive? I mean, everything is these days ... just not sure if it made the official list.

I knew teachers wouldn't want to go back, but didn't think they would stoop to these levels. Spanky and LTG are bad people.
