Just in time too! It’s been so wet that I am just getting around to aerating and seeding for the fall today. It’s good to see the board is back up.

I think the MARC Camden Line was closed all day due to high water, but I agree with you. Though I didn't see or hear any of it. It was the best night of sleep I've had in a long time...

3.6" for the inner harbor in a four hour period overnight. If anything happened here, I slept right through it.

I have so many great memories (and bad ones, like Clint Longley) of the Skins, their games, and their players, but whatever mystique they had to me has faded over the years. There are a lot of reasons that contribute to that, but a big one for me is that they lost something in the move from D.C. and RFK stadium to Landover and that concrete pit that they play in now. I remember as a kid going to a couple of games at RFK stadium with my Grandfather who had season tickets until his death in '71, and then I worked as a beer vendor for the last seven seasons there, and nothing compared to the atmosphere and fans of RFK. I was there for the seat cushion game and the rout of the Lions on their run to the Super Bowl, but even in the lean years, there was just something unique about RFK. I worked exactly one game at the new stadium and didn't go back because it was totally different and just felt off. I'm surprised that they've managed to have the support of the fans for as long as they have, but today, after over 50 years, they didn't sell out the stadium. And it wasn't even close. https://wtop.com/washington-redskins/2018/09/skins-sellout-streak-ends-boos-accompany-21-9-loss-to-indy/slide/1/

I think this weekend's weather has been great. I have the AC off, the windows open, and the ceiling fans are creating a gentle breeze throughout the house.

For the first time in what seems forever, it's finally dry enough to go out and attempt to tackle the yard. If I haven't posted again by tomorrow morning, please send a search and rescue team.

I'd wait because it's about to change.

Mattie is on a tear.

4.75" here. My yard is shaggy and the beds need a thorough weeding.

Man, this game can't end soon enough for the Bills. In other news, I am jealous of the frost and freeze advisories in Maine.

About 3.5" this weekend and 52.25" for the year.

The CoCoRaHS site seems to be amiss so saving today's entry here so I remember. .03"

The details of that event are really sad.

The wet summer wasn't good to my tomatoes, but I did get a bumper crop of ornamental squash for fall decorating.
