Columbia County Under Water

Last week’s storms were the craziest thing I have ever seen. Here are a few pictures I took during the storm and the day after.

This is the usually quiet slowly trickling stream in our woods. There used to be a mess of fallen trees across the stream that we used as a bridge. The water took that mess away. — This is usually a quiet, slowly trickling stream in our woods. There used to be a mess of fallen trees across the stream that we used as a bridge.

The water filled up out basement window well and began pouring in until we got outside with buckets and shovels. In this picture, a family of frogs outside in the basement well are trying to stay above the water level — The water filled up our basement window well and began pouring in until we got outside with buckets and shovels.

The NY Senate

It must be nice to have a job where you can ignore your work for more than two weeks, then still take your summer vacation without repercussion.

This week in the soap opera that is New York politics, a bunch of Republican and two Democrat senators decided that rather than doing the job they were elected/hired and getting paid to do, they would waste everyone’s time and money in a B.S. struggle to be crowned “leader of the senate”! So while we tax paying citizens get shafted, these scumbags are dickering over a title that nobody cares about. Get back to work you SOBs or we will find someone else to do your jobs.
