There was a huge windstorm here in Western Washington last night and bunch of towns completely lost power. The reporter covering this on the local news says "Washington Public Utilities has stated that they have restored power to 2/3rds of all outages. That's 75% of all outages have been taken care of at this hour."
Hm.
In other news, I bought Betty this snack cup for her Kix with this top that looks kind of like a heart valve. The top keeps the snacks from spilling everywhere even if she turns it upside down. Well, she doesn't want to put her hand through the valve thingie, so she figured out she could pull up one of the leaflets of the valve and dump the cereal out onto the floor.
Awesome.
I had no idea it had been so long since I last posted. Since I was last online Betty has had shots; we've been to Dorsey Illinois and had Betty baptized (yeah, shut up you); and we came back home on a train. I'd never been on a train before. It was pretty cool.
Paul's way of thinking is slowly infusing me with odd attacks of paranoia. There was a crazy christian lady on the train and I decided I had to humor her in case she decided I wasn't christian enough and she was compelled by god to take Betty away from me. She really wasn't that crazy, but I couldn't help thinking it.
So the Snohomish, Carbon, Puyallup, Skykomish, and a bunch of other rivers have burst their banks due to heavy rain and are flooding towns, sweeping away whole houses, cars and dogs.
Fortunately for us, the Duwamish remain unaffected as rain bursts into flames as it nears the river's surface and instantaneously transforms into evil thoughts. You can hear particularly large raindrops make a sort of spang as their molecular nature is pulled apart and recombined.
