Can You Say "Climate Change"?You might recall the first snowfall of the year from Saturday last. Well. As predicted, we now have the first floods of the year. And these aren't the typical big river floods that "shock" the residents of the communities on the river deltas every year. These are flash floods, urban style.
Those cute little creeks that wind through the neighborhoods near The Palace have been raging rivers for the last two days, swallowing yards and flooding porn collections everywhere. The usual 15 minute trip to drop the Eldest Colleague Offspring at school took almost 40 minutes on Monday morning, as every side street I know was covered in several feet of water. For the record, the A3 doesn't like deep water.
The picture above is real and it is from Monday. Last week I ran right past that sign on a nice cool evening. We're used to "wet" around here, but unless you are on a hill, this place looks shockingly like the midwest during flood season. Here is a nice shot of I-5 between Seattle and Portland. Oops:
Still, I've managed to get out and put together a start to another full week of training. Today I surveyed the flood damage in Woodinville. Scary stuff. The flooding. Not the run. The run was good. I hid my watch from myself and just ran, hoping for negative splits. Worked out.
Student finals are rolling in as I write this. Save me, Gay Jesus. Save me.
Stay dry out there. Is it Aloha Friday yet?

See...now don't you want to get into the whole multisport thing? You'll be swimming to work anyway.
Woohoo! I snuck down to my neighbors house ast night (you know, the one just below my "proposed" new house) and tied a buoy to his roof. Hurry up global warming and sea level rising! I'll be able to moor Allegro out front of my new house soon!
