The flooding up here seems to be receding, revealing roads that are even WORSE for wear than they were, which was not very good, some hellacious potholes, and big swaths of mud across the roads. A lot of fields are still flooded. I hear that most roads are at least open with one lane, except going north. Yesterday was pretty clear and warm and today isn't bad either, and most people seem to have gotten their electricity back on. It was very hard to be inside at work yesterday with blue sky actually showing. It sounds like Guerneville/Sonoma really got it, those rivers really swell up.
The bicycle is the most civilized conveyance known to man. Other forms of transport grow daily more nightmarish. Only the bicycle remains pure in heart. ~Iris Murdoch, The Red and the Green
