Cinco de Mayo Walk

I am very excited for the potential flooding that will happen this summer. I love mayhem.

A fellow coworker, and drainage engineer, told me that snow-packs are at 140% on the mountain - that's more snow packed up there than there was in the 80's. 1983 was a bad year for flooding, which is the year I was born, that's how I remember that.

The Barlows who live down by Utah lake told me that their farmer neighbors said that there is a 30 year pattern in weather and seasons. So I guess we are right on time.

I've been practicing my sand-bagging skills.

I think if the gully flooded and washed away all the houses on "California Ave" it would be a good welcome for the returning Sam this summer - who hated that they subdivided that land. (if you live on that street and read my blog - don't take it personally, you didn't know you were building on hallowed land).

Here's a few cell phone pictures taken from last evenings walk with mom and Andie, after our cinco de mayo dinner, looking for golf balls:





We found a rock wanting to be a robot, so we helped it out:
 

our old leather chair - which Sam brought down to sit in, at his fort:
