HearZae: 12.05

College applications are due tomorrow - Alex hard at work convincing our nation's most prestigious Universities to accept a hick kid from NV.

It's a bit hard to see, but the pedestrian bridge over the river (usually at least 10 ft. above the water) is getting washed over on the left.

All the gunk they keep pulling off the side of the bridge so it doesn't get destroyed like during the last flood.

Some stupid bloke stuck in the water in front of our old church, now Lear Theatre. During the flood of 1997 we had to muck out the whole basement of that building - we could boat about on the water downstairs and touch the ceiling it was so flooded.

Jumping and singing in the rain

It smells like wet dog in our house

Riverside Dr. is completely covered - and part of First too. Truckee is about 10 ft. above normal levels, or more by now. I-80 is closed over the pass because of a huge mudslide, all the bridges are closed ... good news is it's snowing above 7,000 ft!

Dad, Morgan, Kate, Mom and Mud down by the Truckee River 12.31.05 observing a substantial amount of fast-moving silty water.

The funny old guy I got my belt from - for posterity.

Buying a belt from the leatherworks in the market - yessssss!

Pike Place Market - gorgeous colors I couldnt' help looking like a horrid tourist for 30 seconds

Kira look at the camera? No way!

It's quite exciting walking for miles and miles and miles through Seattle - up stairs, down stairs, through Pike's Market, watching flying fish, getting lost on bus systems and ending up in Ballard... woo hoo!
