    If God wanted us to fix it, he wouldn't have let it break in the first place.

        God loves dykes and dams both; he does not abide by indiscriminate spillage of fluids.

Some of the businesses had some serious flooding in that area though. The KBC had a few inches on the floor of their taprooms, and then there's a basement under that. The buildings/businesses under the parking deck, like Center Ice Skate and Sport are probably destroyed. I saw a video from yesterday morning of water flowing out the broken glass door of one of those businesses, about 3 foot high water at that point.
          I think I saw that Sheldon is just a dirt road now. Intact, but a PITA, overall.

          This sounds odd, but when we are up there next month, it would be very interesting to see the end results of this weekend (structures, mining stuff) like what you guys were talking about earlier.
          Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

                It's only a couple days a year, but yes, the temp/heat index/wind chill is completely nuts. On a scale of 1-Charlie Sheen, it's Mariah Carey.

                Edit: being a nurse, you'll understand this: this is one of the reasons we're very healthy. We have to deal with ALL the weather. All of it. Our bodies adjust.

                  The weather here is great 9 months of the year. June, July, and August are rough, but the rest of the year it is very nice.
                  Having a clear conscience just means you have a bad memory or you had a boring weekend.

                    And here's where I step in and say 8 months. 'Member that year where we had 30 consecutive days below freezing, and that included a real temp (not wind chill) swing of 50 degrees? Yeah, that sucked.

                      Nah, it wasn't that bad. Just put on some long underwear.

                        I had my Air Force issued parka from 'Nam days (my dad's). I was warm, but the weather still sucked.

                          10 inches of rain here on our Des Moines suburb last night. Thankfully our power didn't go out so our sump pump kept the basement dry. Half of our neighborhood has flooded basements cause the power went out too.

                          Note to self, get generator for sump pump.

                            Those AR parkas were a real thing back in the late 60s early 70s. Great parkas.
