Still have power (knock on wood!). Still raining.
I'm supposed to start my road trip tomorrow but this is dependent on 1) my friend Kate venturing across the great state of Massachusetts and arriving safely in Albany and 2) driving conditions in NY and PA. The Thruway has been closed at several points and the Mohawk and Hudson rivers won't crest until tomorrow afternoon. More flooding could result, limiting mobility. In addition, apparently I will be traveling along one of the most flood prone areas in the United States: the Susquehanna. But, trying to discover which roads are open and which are washed out is ridiculously complicated. (Any librarians out there know of a magical database I can use for this purpose?) Hoping to overcome all obstacles and expecting the ground to be a bit soggy tomorrow, we plan on splurging on a hotel room in PA! (Of course, I would probably get frustrated trying to figure out which campgrounds were open and which were closed anyway...) This trip is turning out to be an exciting adventure, possibly worthy of the blogosphere, after all!
I'll leave you with a scene from Troy:
