It’s still raining. The thunderstorm that rumbled on and on last night dumped about three inches, adding to the several inches we collected last week. We closed the windows at one point because the incessant noise of the rain was just too much, there was nothing musical or soothing about it. Just noise.
But at least the rain let up long enough for me to get out of the house and go walking; now I can face another day of cabin fever with something of a level head. Shoal Creek is really high. You know it’s been an especially bad flood when there are fish all over the sidewalk…yuck. With the current up like this, it reminded me of walking along the Dreisam every morning when I was in Freiburg (although I never saw fish on the sidewalk there. And actually the water is much cleaner because it’s not flood water). Almost exactly at the halfway point of my walk it started raining again, but by that point I was already soggy from the grass and the trees.
Rainy rainy rain. Here's one view of campus in the rain, but here is a more impressionistic, and somehow more authentic, record of what it's like here right now.
