Epic Flooding in Racine
You would not believe the amount of rain we got in Racine. Check out this link to the story. Over 8 inches in some areas! We shot this video with our camera phone, so the quality is terrible, but we caught this video of a canoe going over Horlick dam. We saw it go by in our back yard and rushed out to see if we could save it. No chance. It snapped in half at the bottom. Check out this link for better videos at Horlick dam of the torrent that is the Root River. To quote Laura, "whoa."
The river has flooded our little shack which is about 7 feet above the dam level. Nothing compared to the damage downstream.

California Trip
We met Gary and Deb in and spent a little time in San Francisco. We attended an A's game, visited Chinatown, ascended Coit Tower for a view of the city, and rode a cable car.

January fun!
Left - Becky and Kevin with unknown children.
After getting a little much-needed exercise on the rink, we headed out to dinner a newly renovated restaurant/Irish pub.
Even though the Admirals lost the game, we had a great time. Thanks, B&K, for inviting us!
The weather continued to be warm on Sunday, leading to lots of dense fog, so we had a cozy day inside. Today, we reached record highs in the 60's, and unfortunately, the unseasonable warmth led to some tornadoes in Racine and Kenosha counties. We spent about an hour in the basement at work this afternoon, and then another hour or so in our basement at home. Fortunately, I got Jay a ping pong table for Christmas, so we kept ourselves entertained! Luckily we did not sustain any damages in our area, but like I said, it's been an eventful month so far!
Happy 2008!
