I miss you guys.

I love the new job. Love it a lot actually. But it's taking up all my time during the day now. I'm actually working again instead of collecting a paycheck whilst I play on PSC.

I'd play at home but lightning hit a little too close to my house and knocked out all of the network equipment and wiring. Got the new router but the NICs and cat-5 cable were fried too. One computer won't even boot anymore. Rather than put money into the old steam-powered PC I'm ordering parts to build it's nuclear powered cousin. . The new PC will be a nice little Quad 4 with 4GB of RAM and a terabyte of storage. It should run CS3 like a dream. Speaking of which anyone know where I can acquire CS3 on "the cheap" . I had to give up my CS3 Master Suite when I left the employ of the county.

Also on the subject of storms.... Wisconsin got NAILED by the rain. There's a town called Wisconsin Dells that is all about tourism. The banks of one of the primary lakes gave way and the lake actually drained! No more Lake Delton for a while. Lake Delton had all kinds of tourism on it including the Tommy Bartlett water ski show and a jet boat ride.

Slide show of the damage.

there was a tsunami or sthg ???

Felt like it!

For about a month-and-a-half we've had rainstorms 3-4 times a week. This last couple were particularly nasty. The house in that pic was shown breaking apart in a video. It was even on Good Morning America this morning.

As I told manic_d the silver lining is that I haven't had to water my yard even once this year!

YIKES, Tofu! Glad you and yours are all right! Keep safe!

Hope you're back up and running from home again soon--and that your whole state avoids any more damage and is able to quickly recover from this damage! EESH!

someone stole the lake, you bastards,
