Battlemech
Sometimes I really wish I had a battlemech. I think that it would be really fun to climb aboard, and thunder through the town. The sheer awesome power fully at my control. When I say no, those morons in marketing, and the fence sitters would be forced to heed my warning! Projects would be done the right way, and the world will be a better place! Too bad they aren’t real. That was a nice dream.
So, this year has been a record year for moisture here in the west. The snow pack is at 300% normal in some places. Million dollar homes have already been lost to the flooding. Winter is not over yet, and the precipitation is still coming down. When the spring thaw happens, just imagine the destruction we are going to see. It is going to be awesome! Note to self, avoid places where spring runoff normally runs.
Where my house is built, the water table is really high. During the past decade, it has been lower because of the drought, but I remember when you could dig down 2 feet and hit water. My house is built on top of the ground, but my neighbors, they dug down. In fact one neighbor went down nine feet, the other only six. When the spring thaw comes, and that underground river fills up, you know who is going to be flooded? That is right, the two retention ponds to either side of me! They do not even have sump pumps because the daft idiots working for the city did not bother to check the history of the area, and did not require it. I wonder if they were told about flood insurance. Knowledge I think I will keep to myself in this matter, I do not like my neighbors, I want them to move.
This has been a good initial week for my blog. Although only my brother’s have commented to the posts, I like what I have written. I’m not going to post anything during the weekend, let my creativity wander a bit. I promise great things for next week though. Maybe I will post up some old poetry, or some essays. If I can find it, I will post my paper concerning the open hunt and absent mindedness. A fun read if nothing else!
Everyone have a great weekend. Make sure to continue working towards your own person goals of power and world domination!
