When I was working a rainy Saturday would upset me quite a bit. Retirement is the best job ever.

The good news is most of the reservoirs are way up, some even full.
And, of course, today it was announced that our water rates will be going up.

Sacred cow territory. Careful. Everyone knows the school system can do no wrong.

In my opinion, we should not be celebrating foreign foods like poutine in these you-ninety-states.
In other news, the insurance co just paid out the price of a VERY nice bicycle for fiberglass damage I didn't know was there until we asked someone to fix the gelcoat. The area in question happens to have the forestay chainplate bolted through it, making it all the more interesting. I am not the greatest boat handler in wind and current, but I have no recollection of hitting a dock head-on, let alone with sufficient force to do that, and I wonder if it goes all the way back to the silly original owners, or even a defect in the layup. Anyway, the adjuster said crash damage and her word is good enough for me in this case. Fortunately, no claims in the last five years, so they won't raise our premium.
