On Tuesday, I was sitting in my apartment, and I could hear the distinct sound of cars driving through water on the road. It was not supposed to rain so I looked outside and couldn’t see any water. I then went out to the parking lot, and I could see water flowing by very quickly about 3 inches deep. It was also very murky. The next day, I concluded that a water main broke somewhere nearby and that the water flowed down the street. In a great feat of design, the drainage seems to divert about 70% of the water flowing down the street into the parking lot to my apartment complex. Oh well, glad I didn’t have anywhere to go.
Wine Tasting
Last Thurs, the Adult, Graduate and Off Campus Student Services had a wine tasting. We had to sign up ahead of time, so a few friends and I went.
The had four wines there:
- Penascal Sauvignon Blanc
- Trentadue Old Patch Red
- Charles Creek Miradero Merlot
- Barros Imperial Ruby Port
I have to say. I learned a fair amount during the wine tasting. I never tried much wine, so it was nice to do something I never really tried.
Visiting the Parents
Last weekend, I went to visit my parents. On the drive down, I listed to the first two chapters of The Rookie (beware: not for children or those easily offended). I am listening to the next chapter as I write this. Started off well enough for one of Scott Sigler’s novels. Can’t wait to hear the rest.
Anyway, one of the reasons why I decided to visit my parents this weekend was the fact that my grandparents would be there also. On Saturday, we went to Lost Maples State Park. While we were there, I manged to get a picture of my dad with his parents. Not the best of pictures, but difficult to get better when one party doesn’t like to cooperate. Here they are standing next to a rock formation that sort of looks like a giant mouth:
