With all the rain I'm getting nothing done and all the food is mysteriously going missing. So far the worst we've had has involved noise and lights flickering but

So you're saying you are seeing UFOs and aliens are stealing your food??
Sympathy like...let's hope it sticks to flickering lights and noise!!

Thank you it's supposed to clear out by this afternoon. Although I remember hearing that yesterday

It's nice here today. Clear skies and 54 degrees at 5:20 AM.

I never cared about Star Wars I am indifferent to it be expanded. Happy for those who love. Will take masses away from the few remaining attractions I love

I'm a fan of what Uni Florida did with Harry. Even their rocks and "town" surpassed any thing I saw Disney imagineers on that grand of a level. Their screens on the train transport you, simple but an awesome transition. Their main forced mountain perspective is awesome. That queue is awesome. I've never experienced anything similar to the moving benches. The creativity is boundless in harry land. I skipped a coaster my kids loved. Knew I'd feel bluck. But it was fine as their entertainment was spot on. I can take or leave the harry films and books but Harryland is awesome.

I'm kind of hoping my son will grow out of the SW fandom so I won't have to be involved in the madness when it opens, but DH enjoys it, too, so probably not going to happen. Although, the fact that Hubby enjoys it might mean that I can do something else with DD while the boys hit SWL. That's what we did last Summer, just on a very small scale...they did Star Tours? while we went and met Olaf. We did Muppets while they went and Chewie and Kylo Ren? So it all worked out. But it sounds like SWL is going to be a huge part of HS, so I don't know how much other stuff there will be to do for DD and I. We shall see.

My sympathies. Hope it darkens up and snows soon for you.

Very funny! We have one too!!
Our problem here with dry weather is sharing a well with 3 other families so we have to conserve water during dry spells. One year it got so dry that the well hit bottom and the water had red dirt in it. It was scary cause drilling wells are expensive. And there is no way the other families can afford to help replace it.

I am 2/3 the way through the Extended Version of The Hobbit. Lots of great stuff. I recommend it to anyone who is a Tolkien Fan.

I love it!

Ouch.

We don't live on the top of a hill, but, we're at the high end of our street, so no flooding worries here either.

Same here. A drawback for us is most people would rather park at the bottom of our driveway in winter then make the hike up to the house because they're afraid their car will get stuck or not make it up.

Tonight's episode of the boy can cook, DS made Penne Arrabiata.

Steamed broccoli on the side. And yes, @ajrwdwgirl the broccoli was good, too. Yummy stuff. And spicy, too.

Looks delicious.
