I awoke this morning to sunshine through my window and the sounds of a bird chirping. My guess is that it was carrying an olive branch.
Only Shirley Manson could have enjoyed what happened yesterday. Gary England chose to open the flood gates and nearly toppled the dam at Ski Island. While ten inches of rain fell over a period of just a few hours (including the morning rush period), most of us who live in the city were stuck at home unable to maneuver our neighborhood streets without a gondola. Meanwhile, those who commute in unwittingly drove into enough water to turn their vehicles into pontoon boats.
