Intense storm this morning. I think I drove through the worst of it into town, there were places where the water on the road was pushing my car around. When I get home I will have to check the pond, it is still muddy from Sunday morning's rain. The weather has managed to stay fairly cool for this time of year and the pansies are still blooming nicely.

I started reading Cryptonomicon this week. I think I am in love. Again. I am thankful that a publisher would accept and present to the public a book like this. I hope I remember to read The Alchemist in time.
