Sir,

Do you need some scuba gear sent out your way, or help building an Ark ??

Wow, 15 inches of rain in the past few days, in some areas. Hope your lake in the back yard doesn't flood the house.

Sdiver,
I run along the Merrimack River in Lowell which is mentioned in the article. Yesterday around 1600 it was close to overflow along a major roadway. Today probably close to 3 or 4 feet are on said roadway. Every river around me has flooded its banks. And it's still supposed to keep raining through Thursday. My old high school is probably going to be closed thru Weds because the basement is filled around 5 feet with water because the nearby steam went over it's banks by at least 5 feet. My grandmother who has lived around here since the 1930s thinks this is the worse flooding that she has ever seen, and there's not even snow runoff to add to it.

The animals haven't started to pair up yet and I am at a lack in determining just what the dimensions of a "cubit" is in order to build the ark. Actually we are doing pretty good as the bulk of the heavier stuff has stayed to our south but we have received upwards of 4 inches of rain over the past couple of days and it is slated to continue off and on during the week. I will get a chance to see what the flooding has done on Thursday when I drive down to Hanscom Airforce Base in Bedford, Mass, to do my normal monthly resupply run. Ought to be interesting.

I tried to look it up but it seems there's disagreement between royal cubits and short cubits. It could be the distance from your middle finger to your elbow. No clue on whether that middle finger is supposed to be distended

Sir,

We got 119 inches in 41 days a couple of months ago.

I snagged the biggest piece of driftwood I could find on the beach and held on tight. Floated around a bit, but eventually made my way back home.

Take care.

Col. Maroney Sir,
Bedford hasn't really been hit all that bad. The worst places are the North Shore and the Merrimack Valley. I don't see it getting much better since it's supposed to rain until Saturday. Hopefully the rain ends for a 2 hour period on Saturday so I don't get soaked during my graduation. Here's a link to some pictures that one of the kids I coached took of the lot of the H.S. http://community.webshots.com/album/550408275odYttv

Good shots. You folks are way ahead of us with foliage. Our leaves have not yet popped.

Jack,

What altitude are you? I'm surprised, as I'm less than an hour from you, to note that it seems we're at least a week ahead of you (have noticed this in other discussions as well.)

On another note, was woken this AM by two Tom turkeys in the yard. Got some decent photos (I think.)
