I was earlier, and the water was sheeting over the surface of the road. Already some flooding going on out here. Around here if the two surface streets that cross Salt Creek are covered with water, make a U turn, and go to the 215 fwy to get into Sun City. Some day our new little city will have to build a bridge. Have it on good authority, (had lunch with one of the City Council Members today), that they've been working really hard to clean out those storm drains. Unfortunately they built more houses than the infrastructure of our town can support.
I just hope people are careful no matter where they are driving. I couldn't believe how many people have forgotten the first rule of safe driving.
Never drive faster than conditions permit. People were passing me in a 60 mph zone, and I was doing 60 mph. I did slow down a lot more on the way home when the rain was really pouring down.
Even then people were passing me. I was beginning to feel like a little old lady from Sun City (oh wait I fit that description now!). I'm a very cautious (scared stupid) driver. I am not scared of my driving but everyone else's.
Okay be careful out there on the roads!
Another photo. This is that strange Blue Bird that's been spotted several times on the farm. It actually came into my yard on Jan. 10th and I got several photos. Have posted one of them to the Bird Watching forum for help with ID.
Also posted a series of 6 photos of this guy on Dad's Memory Thread.
Enjoy!
