Contracts was cut short today by the wet-vac crew, as the lecture hall had flooded in our extreme rain. The professor gamely acted as if nothing was unusual but had to pause to roll up her pant cuffs and continued lecturing about restitution, standing in a very large puddle.

For my part, I had to skip my last class today so I could go home and lash a tarp to my chimney, which slowly turned into an indoor fountain as I sat last night, researching Federal Rule of Evidence 702.

Yesterday I went hiking in conditions that started as rain but turned into high-velocity hail pellets the size of BBs. That was real nice.
