flooded with work
I didn't get any pictures of the flooding in Lowell that closed the University yesterday, so to make up for it I went out to Concord and took some at the Old North Bridge. While the flooding there wasn't as high either in terms of feet total or feet above flood stage, its percentage above flood stage was certainly impressive. By today, however, waters had receded slightly in Lowell, enough anyways for us to have classes again. Too bad about that, although I'm sure Lowell residents are glad that the river stopped within six inches or so of bettering last years terrible floods. I was refreshing the City of Lowell flood page and the University website as I did school work until 1:30 or so last night (this morning?), and was very disappointed that no further cancellations appeared. So I had to go to school, and boy was it hard to stay awake. So why am I still awake now?! Good question. Zzzz.
I couldn't stand that tissue box skin for another second; I don't know how anybody likes it. Since we obviously can't go back to snow, I reached back old-school until the official new spring skin is done.
