Still raining here... flooding... washing away my property...


Rainng here again, naturally.

Some bloke managed to get himself drowned last night locally, decided to drive through a ford in flood.....

Poor Bloke.


Lots of flooding on my road, but nothing terrible...

Of course, today they are closing down the road to my house (again) for construction... that makes the 4th time in 3 years... and i don't know how long it will be closed (months, apparently)...

That adds about another .5 miles of road under construction now on my route to work, so about 10 of the 17.5 miles, i guess... the aggravating thing is: the construction is DONE on almost 10 miles of the road - they just won't open it...



Got to love road maintenace, round here they just tend to fill the pot holes in then spray it in bitchamin and dump gravel on it, you then get the pleasure of rolling it for them in your car whilst spraying gravel and bitchamin all over the under side an wheel arches. Had two replace two headlights and a wind screen in the last three years on the same stretch of road..... they use my tax money to do this..... badly.




Heh - that was what they did in the town i grew up in - when they bothered to do anything at all...

i have a friend that i went to school with there whose mother still lives there. She moved into her house in 1950... and still has not seen any road maintenance to this day on her street... of course, with the hideous winters (it is North of Buffalo NY) it hardly ever gets potholes around there...

Another friend of mine used to refer to it as the pothole training camp for the state...



Ha, compared to Ogdensburg, NY you lived in the south

Galba is a Roman Consul

Tiberius founds a credit bank in Rome.

A financial crisis hits Rome, due to poorly chosen fiscal policies. Land values plummet, and credit is increased. These actions lead to a lack of cash, a crisis of confidence, and much land speculation. The primary victims are senators, knights and the wealthy. Many aristocratic families are ruined.

The following Christian chronology uses traditional dates; 30 and 28 are also suggested as a date for these events, and are currently considered the likely dates.

Triumphal Entry of Jesus into Jerusalem - Sunday, March 29 (Palm Sunday)

Last Supper - Thursday, April 2 (Holy Thursday)

Judas Iscariot, disciple of Jesus, reportedly committed suicide hours before the death of his teacher.

Crucifixion of Jesus - Friday, April 3 (Good Friday)

Resurrection of Jesus - Sunday, April 5 (Easter)

Ascension of Jesus - Thursday, May 14 (Ascension Day)

The Coming of the Holy Spirit - Sunday, May 24 (Pentecost)

Traditionally, Christianity was founded on this date, since the "preparation period" for the Church Age was complete. The Eastern Orthodox and the Roman Catholic denominations also claim founding on this date. Details of the beginning of the Christian Church are found in the Biblical book of Acts.

Saint Peter became Pope (according to Roman Catholic tradition) (see 32)

You and Yava have both done one since last night. Dixie foiled Yava's attempt at a double Faber.

Where you after a photo, or artwork? Colour or B/W? I've got a nice pic of the County Class cruiser HMS Cumberland, cruising in front of a sunset.
