Happy Friday the 13th

LOL -- I'll be stuck in a training class all day (le sigh....) Not my idea of fun in the least but better tha being in the rain all day.

For those of you who don't know about it....

Rain Streak Watch

TuesdayFriday will be the 23rd26th consecutive day with measurable rain in Seattle.
This makes it the fourthsecond-longest all-time rainy streak in Seattle. Here's the Top 5 rainiest streaks:


#1 - 33 days from Jan. 6 - Feb. 7, 1953
#2 - 26 days from Dec. 19, 2005 - present
#3 - 25 days from Jan. 28 - Feb. 21, 1961
#4 - 24 days from Nov. 10 - Dec. 3, 1953
#5 - 22 days from Dec. 18, 1964 - Jan. 8, 1965

FLOOD WARNINGS remain in effect for the Chehalis and Skokomish rivers. A FLOOD WATCH is in effect for every other mountain-fed river in western Washington.

(A 'warning' means flooding is happening or imminent. A 'watch' means conditions are right for flooding.)

At most risk are the same rivers that are still, or recently were, above flood stage, including the Skokomish, Chehalis, Nisqually, White, Snoqualmie (that one's "ours" - it runs through Duvall), Puyallup, Satsop and Tolt rivers. Not to mention, small stream, urban, and lowland flooding can occur even away from the major rivers.

Lake Sammamish, near Redmond, has risen 5 feet just since Sunday, and more than 8 inches since Thursday morning.

If anybody spots that Noah guy, let me know.


So yeah -- wet kind of begins to cover it. Miserable and soggy really covers it better.

Hope your day is better than mine *hugs flist*

Random dribble-drabble for Sylum

Minor spoiler for Silver War maybe.
Gen, Snippets of conversation between McGee and DiNozzo
Unbetaed, written stream of thought in training class.

Timothy McGee, Timmy to his family, looked out across the battlefield cum graveyard in the dim grey light of dawn. In his mind was a non-stop replay of the battle that had happened so few hours before.
Lost in his thoughts, he jumped slightly as a hand dropped to his shoulder.

"Are you alright?" his captain asked.

"No, I don't think I will be alright ever again..."

More to come

Sylum Snippet #2

"No, I don't think I will be alright ever again." He turned and faced Tony. "Have I thanked you yet? For saving me I mean. I just wish that I could have said goodbye to my family. This is going to crush my mother."

A squeeze on his should told him that Tony understood what he meant.

"You're a good man McGee, and one that I am proud to call Childe. I know that you will continue to make me proud as time passes."

Tony's hand dropped from his shoulder. "Let's go find the General and the Doc and see about some breakfast"
