We are now back in Oregon and just missed a terrible rain storm last night. We received over two inches of rain at our house Wednesday. Streets were flooded. Streams over-flowed. Lightning. Thunder. This pales in comparison with the terrible floods this week in the mid-west, but is still fairly substantial for Oregon in June.
We were not home to see our gutters over-flow, but could see the debris around our house this morning. The little creek behind our house became a river last night. New streams carved their paths all around our property. There is a lot of clean-up work for us DT this week.
And... there is this to ponder.
First matter of the day was, of course, futbol.
Must. Watch. FIFA.
USA v Germany: I did not agree with the post-game commentators. I didn't think America played that well. I didn't think it was that exciting of a game. But what do I know? I still think Algeria is one of the most explosive teams with their fast-paced game. The Monday Algeria v Germany game could be one of the best games of the tourney!
After our LA food-binge of food-cart burgers and house-cured Pastrami Short Rib sandwiches, I prepared a vegetarian meal this evening.
New Seasons Market had burrata (fresh mozzarella stuffed with even fresher mozzarella and cream) today. This product is very fragile and lasts but a day, so when available, I will put it in my basket.



Bet you can too!

Good news! Leo somehow "grasped" the "holding-on-to-the-edge-of-the-pool" scenario at his swim class this morning and was allowed to jump from the diving board!
Genius!
