As I'm sure you've seen, on the news or up close, lotsa flooding going on throughout the mid-west. Not much of it has affected my life directly, many have lost their homes or struggle to keep them safe. The Rock River in Southern WI is due to crest this week, and I'm sure it's already bad down there. Locally the bike path under major roads near the Yahara (just completed last year) is underwater but prolly still navigable. Glad I don't have to drive anywhere for my job - road closings abound. Hear this morning the the trip to (or is it from) Milwaukee goes via Beloit effectively doubling the distance. We should have more sunny days this week, to dry things up a bit, unless you are at the end of watersheds.
In other news, I was personally quite saddened by the passing of Tim Russert this last weekend. He was one of the great TV journalists of our time. Fair and yet not cowtowing to anyone - he could put both dems and republicans on the hot seat with equal aplomb. His personality was a welcome presence and is one of those people you can't imagine being replaced. One of a kind.
Light work week, catching up on domestic stuff, branching out further on the 2-wheeler and getting back to some gear-building projects: battery operated stereo mic preamp, one good kick drum pedal from two broken ones, put new heads on the floor tom tom, and I'm sure there's more! Hope to jam with some friends soon so gotta get the drum kit humming.
