Last night I went to the first Geneva High School football game of the year. Last year the Vikings lost in the State Semi-Finals to the Batavia Bulldogs (Boo Hiss!) who went on to lose in the State Championship.

Attending these games is pretty neat because we get to see some neighbors and get in on the community support. It also allows us to see some friends from our old church and keep in touch with them.

Geneva of course won over Dundee-Crown by a score of 34-7. We were up 21-0 after the first quarter and then just coasted.

It was a great first game and fun to watch. We'll see where the season goes but at least it starts with a win.

Here is the route that I normally run when I go along the Fox River. Over 3/4 of my runs go along the Fox. I guess I'll have to wait a bit until the water recedes.

We received 2.47 inches of rain in 24 hours. It was mainly in 3 storms of .85 inches in 20 minutes, .83 inches in 30 minutes and the rest over the night. Other CoCoRaHS observers in Kane County recorded over 3 inches! That's a lot of rain and right now it's all coming down the Fox.

Here are some photos of the bridge in Geneva and Island Park. For those who have visited us, the playground is the one we would normally walk to. That's a lot of water!

You can see more photos on our Kodak Album site.

I also uploaded a video shot looking at the dam just above Route 38 in Geneva. You can see it by clicking on Videos on the left.

Talk about some rain. We've had two storms this afternoon and so far they've delivered over 1.6 inches of rain. Add that to the 5.57 inches of rain so far this month and animals will start lining up 2 by 2. And it's not over. We should get more rain maybe tonight and tomorrow before things slow down a bit.

CoCoRaHS has some interesting reports showing Intense Precipitation and total acumulation.

I just had to post a link to this it's so weird.

There's really only one person on the list that I'm pretty sure of where he is now. J.R.R. Tolkien. As for the others, who knows and why does it matter how much their estate gets when they are in a bad place?

Ok, I try to do no more than 1 post a day, but I just had to put this out there. This little video really explains the Social Bookmarking trend that actually, I've not really gotten in to. I may have to now.
