Thanks Wade. We had possibly the worst rain storm I have seen short of a Virginia Hurricane this afternoon. I had just made it home from picking up Blair from the airport when all hell broke loose. We had 2" of rain in 20 minutes, which is tatamount to a major flood anywhere else. Alot of people got caught unawares by this whole mess. My yard is just now draining as is my truck which had water up to the engine. For those of you who think 2" of rain is nothing, Las Vegas has no ground drainage due to the fact that we are at the bottom of an ancient lake bed. 2' under the dirt is a hard substance called caliche which is basically cement made from old silt. As I write this there is another major storm coming in. Wish me luck, schools starts for teachers tomorrow and it could be a long and dangerous commute.

Chuck
