Monsoon?

 Somewhere close to SIX hours of sleep without even a question of going back to bed.

POURING rain. And parking lot drainage so crappy that the breezeway had this lovely slippery layer of water. So much for any late-night walking. Luckily I had shopped and exercised that way.

I explained on Twitter to relative newcomer: it's rain for 40 days and 40 nights season. Some years lots of people's basements flood. Sometimes things really do slide off other things.But it's the pandemic and supply chains are disrupted so probably arks are in short supply.

Early morning texting: did I lose power? No. A lot of flickering for awhile. I think I would have wakened up if we lost power while I was sleeping. My Lynnwood friends did not lose power either but the tarp and bamboo trellis arrangement covering the chicken coop got half blown down.

More exercise today on shopping / pick up eye drops trip. It still gets dark too fast. I was not geared up with the shoes with dog walker lights and the reflective pants clips and other reflectivity measures as much as sometimes. The walk home from the grocery story is only slightly longer than the walk to the transit center plus the walk from the bus stop. The parking lot is dark and probably 6 of 1 half dozen of the other as far as street crossings and mobility in the dark. I chose the bus.

A president getting impeached twice in barely a year is a pretty sad occasion no matter how badly it is deserved.
