A large and powerful though swift moving thunder storm rolled through the Boston area yesterday afternoon.

Here’s three pictures of the mini flash flood it caused on my street in Dorchester.

My step-dad asked me if I looked outside and since it had only been raining for a few minutes I hadn’t but that quickly our street was covered in water:

The water came down so quick that the whole street overflowed covering the sidewalk with water going a quarter way up car tires.

We really needed the rain here in Boston to drop the temperature and we got a lot of water in a very short time. I heard through the grapevine that it was over two inches in just twenty minutes!

So I was just scrolling through the search keyphrases that led to this here blog and found a few odd ones. Here’s six of them:

  1. small dog create

    2. Huh? Was this person asking Google to make them a small dog?

  2. too much fun but not enough education

    3. There is a fine balance. One which many strive for but few attain.

  3. sitting

    4. Where they looking for a how to? Definition? History?

  4. managerial accounting for idiots

    5. How much you wanna bet a Fortune 500 CEO is behind this search?

  5. i love nate and adam icons for aim

    6. No idea why I’m the first result for this…

  6. do schools need textbooks

    7. College kid trying to convince his/her professor to drop textbooks? Or a principal trying to cut costs? In my opinion, schools do not need textbooks but do need authoritative resources to learn from, whether they be people or e-books or experiences is up to the school or teacher.

OK, time to go Google “Large pile of cash create”.

My friends’ away messages on AIM (Instant Messenger) seem to flow together tonight; check it out:

Dodgeball!

unpacking the new house
somewhere but not here

feeling sick…
if all you see is violence

food. i love you rachel
life’s good 8-) and I wear sunglasses at night.

Skiing in VAIL!

I left out the default “I am away from my computer right now” away message but used all the others messages my IM buddies put up, including my “somewhere but not here” note. How about you? Does your buddy list’s away messages tell a story?
