Working in the south metro
******* addicted. Mowed lawn but getting dark and I'm bored. I have five/six hours to kill. Maybe go to a movie or turn to hard drugs or something.

No - but it was a scary drive home. I left right at the peak (after checking the weather to be told it wasn't raining...). I go down Beach (west side of JTS) to get to hwy 30. At the TOP of the hill the storm drains across from JTS were spewing water out onto the street. University had several inches of water deep in the right lane. 30 was not flooded, but it was raining so hard that the onramp to southbound 35 was at a dead stop. Traffic was backed up clear back to the overpass going over Duff. I was in the left lane (for thru traffic eastbound). Unfortunately, there were enough STOOPID people not paying attention that my lane was also at a stop in places due to people trying to force their way into the right lane to exit onto 35. When I got stopped at Duff, I was a little bit afraid that the South Skunk had already gone over 30. I couldn't see that far because of the rain and the humongous semi in front of me.
Comcast has been down. Not sure why or how big an area but no Internet or tv. Projected fix is sometimetomorrow. Wtf.
No problem in the northwest metro.Working in the south metro
edit: I see that it was fixed. Also, I wish ours had been out last night as Mrs. JCyclonee and teenage daughter decided to watch the silly Miley Cyrus "Last Song" movie. I decided it was preferable to do laundry.

Crazy how that happens, isn't it? Ames must have been the northern edge, because Huxley & Ankeny & Des Moines got pounded as well.
Some of those Nicolas Sparks movies aren't terrible. The Notebook was pretty good. The one starring Julianne Hough's thighs was watchable. The Last Song is just terrible.I would have been helping you fold.
I agree. However, Party in the USA is a guilty musical pleasure and, to be honest, there were worse shows than Hannah Montana.
That one was outside my reference - one granddaughter was a fan, but that's it.
Pretty amazing that a wasp sting can kill a fairly young, presumably healthy individual...
