Not all of this was the hurricane.  Vermont was flooded by the hurricane, but in the mid-Atlanticit was the rain afterwards this past week that didn't have hurricane winds with it but it was extreme amounts of rain for days on top of places that were already soaked.

The planet is just totally fucked, no one is immune anymore.

We're doing OK in the Carolinas. Enough rain to replenish the reservoirs after the summerlong drought, but no flooding so far.

Not trying to boast, just sayin'...maybe y'all should come to my neck of the woods and chill for a bit.

I feel a need to brag about Denver too.  It's mild, sunny and we have water and are not floating away.

We are experiencing perfect temps here in the evenings.  But no rain in sight.

[Last weekend] I'm gonna hike to the top of my first legit mountain. Castle Peak in Aspen.

I hear that! The weather has been amazing ever since I arrived. East coast, I miss you but certainly not for the weather. Keith, this reminds me, we need to kick it soon.

Today I'm gonna wish I had read the whole ridiculously long rental contract for this condo at the beach, at least till I got to the part that said I need to bring my own sheets, towels and toilet paper.

[pmcd9]

Fully furnished except for sheets.  That's pretty odd if you ask me.

[Carlos del Vaca]

Actually, that's pretty standard at the beach houses we've rented. Usually on the rental agency's web site they're fairly up-front about it (and often offer to rent you sheets from a third party vendor).

Yes - needing to bring along what is termed "linens" is standard for cottage and beach rentals I've had too, though they've all supplied toilet paper and often a dish towel  and sometimes paper towels.

[wombat]

Yeah, it is really my own fault, this is more like renting a house than a hotel, I should have thought of it, but it's been years since we rented anything like a house.

[Nabubrush]

We've had wildfires near(ish) Portland. (Sorry I'm late.)

[Nabubrush]

The other day we were looking at the sun and it was just this giant bloated reddish-orange orb, and it kind of freaked us out, but it was just that the state was burning up.

I was in Eugene last weekend and while I didn't see any fires, it was pretty hazy from all the smoke. I had flashbacks of these horrible asthma attacks I'd suffer as a child in Eugene.

I still think it's weird.  Why would that particular item not be included?  I wonder...

[side_show]

I guess because many such places are rented out in a consecutive manner, where the expectation is that each renter leaves it the way they found it so the home owner doesn't have to come by between visitors if he or she is unable.
