Good morning all. Well, it was an exciting day yesterday. Although we got a nice steady rain, other parts of the valley were getting drenched. As usual, around here, a heavy rain means flooding and there was just that. Homes, parking lots and streets all had a few feet of water to deal with. 
The water recedes fast, but in the meantime, some cars were flooded up to their rooftops. We had about 1/4" of rain in our area, others had over 2 1/2" inches. By late afternoon, these areas were dry again, but there was trash all over. In one place, people were saying that it was garbage pickup day and these containers were floating down the streets, dumping garbage along the way. Hey, it's still "monsoon season" here and that's the way things are around this time of the year.
I'm still working on my orphan challenge but I've waited too long before starting to finish on time.
