There ain't nothin' like 'em nowhere

This is outstanding. If you like baseball, then this is well worth watching (I couldn't figure out how to embed this in a post ...it's late Saturday night).

Also, apparently, this is not the first time something like this has happened. I've never seen anything remotely like it before.

Grow me a beard just to see what the rednecks would do

I shaved last night, and the beard is gone (yea, Janell!). However, I did not get anywhere near as creative as this guy. Several people did not immediately recognize me at the office today, but someone did say, "nice face." I'm going to assume she wasn't being sarcastic.

Although, I think I now look like a 12-year old boy.

Look what the river has done to this poor farmer's land

Yep. It's been a long time since I've posted. Lately, last thing I've been in the mood to do is write. In honor of the midwest floods cresting tomorrow, I'm posting a picture I took (a couple months ago) of the northern Mississippi River, near Brainerd, MN.

It doesn't look so mighty up this way.

I received a call last night from my friends, the Ziehrs, in Iowa City. The Iowa River came within 4-5 blocks of their house, but they have not had any damage (they were also out of state all last week). Unfortunately, one of my sisters didn't have as much luck with the creek in back of her home.

I went home this past weekend for my first weekend off in 5 weeks. I flew over Iowa and parts of the Mississippi River, and I saw a lot of the flooding from the air. As of now, I'm staying right here in Minnesota, and I'm just fine with that. There is plenty of work here for me. However, my department is going through more upheaval as of today (so who knows what will happen).

That's all for tonight. I'll try to update again, soon.
