bill_schubertWell, Amazon is letting me down but other than that.
When I wrote yesterday the water was at its height in our back yard. The rain stopped and everything has been receding since then. The areas of Georgetown and Williamson County that are getting all the attention are east of us. There are trailer parks near the river and they were evacuated as were some apartments also overlooking the river. The bridges were closed near downtown mostly to keep people from going out there and taking pictures.
Although this has happened three times since we moved here in 2005 the population has boomed in this area and, yeah, climate change. The combination of the two will continue to result in this every year about this time. I've been watching the developments move closer and closer over the past couple of years to where I know the river will rise. No one should be surprised but, of course, they are.
As for Amazon they were supposed to deliver three things yesterday one of which was my display port to HTMI adapter. Now it will not be here until Tuesday. I may go to Walmart and buy one. Once you miss a promised Amazon delivery they kick it way down the road. And of course they are in the midst of one of their most active times of year so who knows what will happen and when I might get the adapter. So I might not wait.
Meanwhile, I ordered some protein drink for Dana that arrived same day. So strange.
Nothing on the schedule today.
