No flooding in Evanston that I've seen, but our internet is down. Our whole area is out. Boo!
You never know if a girl's gonna say 'yes', or if she's gonna laugh in your face and pull out your still-beating heart and crush it into the ground with her heel.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

No flooding around me. But a bar stool I had standing about six feet from the windows had a pool of water in the seat when I got home last night, so you can see how strong the rain was.
Naturally, I was up on the roof of the new place with the home inspector during part of this storm last night. Fun!

We just got an official university message about flooded parking on the east side of campus. Meanwhile the two major all-campus events that were supposed to happen have been cancelled. I wonder if they're really going to have Cornfest this year.

This website for the Cornfest 10K race has pictures of the flooded course. (Why the race is cancelled.)

Shit's all sorts of different now.
We had dinner at the Zukey Lake Tavern [link] which sits right on Zukey Lake. Watching the storm come across the lake from Chicago was terrifying and thrilling. SHEETS of rain, magnificent lightning, and the click click click of hail.
It was Craxy.

I left my windows open yesterday. Luckily, not too much water got in so my Mac Mini didn't drown. Also, which is better: Corn Fest or Bean Fest?
