Politicians have brains?
Bizarre thought, isn't it?
Yeah, Thora, that's crazy that nothing's been done about trying to manage the flooding from the heavy rains. God, when I lived in Colorado, when we got a massive snowstorm, the plows were out and clearing the roads in the mountains by the next morning. Occasionally, if the storms were consecutive or particularly nasty, it'd take a little longer for the snowplows to get through, but that's just 'cause they had more than usual to catch up on. But they still did it. You gotta be prepared for the weather your area normally gets (I heard our town testing its tornado sirens today, and we're getting into the time of year where our chances of experiencing them are significantly decreased. But it's nice to know we're prepared). Hope you manage to stay safe in the nasty weather .
Speaking of floods, I don't know what Iowa did to piss people off, but every year for the last three years this state's had some sort of flooding during the summer. 2008 was particularly bad-I wasn't living here at the time, but my sister was, as was a friend of mine, and they've told horror stories about the nasty flooding. Everything was shut off in this town, my friend had to go to a nearby town just to do laundry for work, people were staying in surrounding areas because they couldn't stay here. The state also got hit with a ton of tornadoes that year, too, some of which unfortunately were deadly. Hopefully we'll get a break from that pattern next year.
Anywho, sorry to have totally missed the rest of the last thread-had a headache yesterday (and early this morning), so I slept it off pretty much all day. Starting to feel much better, though, which is good, 'cause I have to work later this evening. So there's a (faux) wedding in the works? Great, another instance to try on bridesmaid dresses .
Also, this U2 torrent-if it's not too much trouble, I'd be kinda interested to hear that, too, if that's okay . I don't have much in the way of live U2 stuff, so it'd be fun to hear a bit of what their current show is like (and don't feel bad-I get overly anal and detailed about labeling songs, too ).
About the most interesting thing I can share in my life is that I've been asked out for coffee by a guy I've reunited with this past summer! He also gave me his number, too. I'm going to see if I can meet up with him before work today, if not, I'll aim for next weekend. So, um, yay!
