Wed 20 Jul

Had a mega=storm last night around 10 pm. I was in bed and I swear I could feel the bed shake when the wind gales were blasting. There are huge trees down all over town today. A huge branch from Gaedtke's fell and blocked the road so I heard machinery moving it out to clear the road last night. I saw a 15" pine completely uprooted and laying in the boulevard on Michigan Ave. I had to try four different routes to get through to work today as the underpasses on Church and Michigan were flooded and Water St was blocked with fallen trees. I finally went out Hwy 10 E to Country Club Dr, came back on Patch to Michigan and over to Rice St to get to Church St and shoot down Whiting to work. The city put out a driving ban for awhile to keep the gawkers off the street. We still don't have power at our house.


Food:

7:00 am 1 c Trader Joe's multigrain flaxseed cereal, 1/2 c light original soy milk, med peach, 210 g strawberries
10:15 am Piece cherry torte, peanut butter chocolate-frosted krispie bar (bake sale)
