The news radio stations all reported power outages across the East Bay from the storms, with tens of thousands without power. The rainfall was all headline news.<BR/><BR/>The record rainfall we received for July? 6/100ths of an inch. Some areas on the Peninsula received as much as 12/100ths of an inch!! Yes, the reporters really called this a "storm," and this rain really did break records -- the usual rainfall for July is zero.Yokota Fritzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04808661100114872654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37888568.post-59337115916840566282007-07-19T08:38:00.000-05:002007-07-19T08:38:00.000-05:00That's awesome news, Crum!I also have a car that's...That's awesome news, Crum!<BR/><BR/>I also have a car that's mine to use whenever I want, but it's costly to operate when you count the fact that it's $5-$8 per day for a decent parking spot anywhere near work. And if I drive it to get lunch, it's another $5-$8 - You can't keep your spot for the day. And the parking attendants watch you like a hawk. Evil bastages. <BR/><BR/>It sounds like you get to do it of your own willpower, which is great news.

Greasy, slippery, slimy roots and rocks did their best to take me out. But I had a good night. Only went down once hard. I like riding in the rain when it goers my way.MRMacrumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01414173517957120477noreply@blogger.com
