Raindrops, schmaindrops.

I'm slightly sleepy today. Severe rain and windstorms all last night. Pitter patter on the new concrete roof deck is much louder than the old wood one. Coupled with the relentless flapping of plastic that protects the back windows.


It rained so much overnight that the new sump pump and catch basin started to float away. That's just wrong. So wrong.


Peeing cherubs doing it's thing. Multiply this by 5 spouts. And that's a lot of gatorade.


Pool filled to the brim and overflowing.


The gushing river in front of my north driveway. Need to be careful when backing the car out. This is one time where it makes sense to have the ground clearance of an SUV in Southern California.


Same gushing river downstream at the south driveway. It's undermining the neighbor's trees. This is why I hate cheap gardeners. They like to leave bare dirt to make their lives easier.
