Moving quickly former hurricane now tropical storm Irene is moving into my region of the storm path and should max out here late afternoon through midnight or so. Already awash in waves of rain and gusting winds I took a walk around the yard and up the driveway down which water running like a brook. At the roadside I have a 4" PVC buried perpendicularly on the high of the driveway entrance that diverts rainwater and snow melt that runs down the road shoulder from spewing down my pavement. Recently it's been clogged up so I took a spade, cleared and bermed the dirt sending runoff into the pipe again. Not like it was a big deal but I'd been meaning to do it and not like this there was a lot else I could do in this weather. The wind and rain has kicked up again just now, if it gets worst that this later it could be more likely that we'll have some power outages. Tomorrow's forecast, sunny and breezy.
Life is full of good and bad experiences but I seem to find the most pleasure from fleeting moments of each day. Sure I get frustrated a lot more than I should but every now and then "just a little is enough" to keep me going.

Hello Irene
Moving quickly former hurricane now tropical storm Irene is moving into my region of the storm path and should max out here late afternoon through midnight or so. Already awash in waves of rain and gusting winds I took a walk around the yard and up the driveway down which water running like a brook. At the roadside I have a 4" PVC buried perpendicularly on the high of the driveway entrance that diverts rainwater and snow melt that runs down the road shoulder from spewing down my pavement. Recently it's been clogged up so I took a spade, cleared and bermed the dirt sending runoff into the pipe again. Not like it was a big deal but I'd been meaning to do it and not like this there was a lot else I could do in this weather. The wind and rain has kicked up again just now, if it gets worst that this later it could be more likely that we'll have some power outages. Tomorrow's forecast, sunny and breezy.
