Finally ...
... we got heavy rain overnight and this morning. This is the first rain we've had for about three weeks now. Maybe the leaves will stop falling prematurely, and we might actually have one of those colorful falls for which New England is renowned.
However, sometimes when we do have leaves on the ground and we get a hard rain, the storm sewer on Elm Street between the Velvet Mill and the Clocktower Mill clogs, and the street floods. This is an enjoyable thing to watch from our dining room window.
And, sometimes this perverse viewing pleasure is heightened when unintelligent drivers of expensive European automobiles forget to attach their fording snorkels to their cars before attempting to drive through the water.
This morning's "catch of the day" was this new Mercedes-Benz shown below. Last I knew, Daimler doesn't offer an "Unterseeboot" model. Someone forgot to inform this lady of that fact.
I refrained from yelling down "Ahoy there - shall I call the Coast Guard?" like one time earlier. I didn't feel like starting my day with getting the same single-digit salute I received from the previous driver.
Oh well, some Mercedes mechanic is going to be a happy camper.
Like I've said many times before - Connecticut has the least intelligent drivers in the United States.
Just for fun ... and since I know how competitive the Brookhart clan can be when it comes to games, I thought I might put up a "Spot All The Differences In These Two Pictures" contest on the blog. The picture below is from 8-21-2004. List all the differences you can find between the two pictures, and you can win a very handsome certificate, suitable for framing!
I predict John may win, although his answers might be scrutinized heavily if it's anything like how he plays Monopoly.
Answers will be published in next week's edition of The Sumner Press. Just kidding - they will be published here. (Hint: While there are millions of differences in the two pictures, I'm limiting it to a number between 1 and 100 - see if you can figure them out) LOL
I've rethought the prize, and decided that not only will the lucky winner receive the very handsome certificate, suitable for framing, but I will also toss in a "ONE" band that you can wear in pride. Come on, folks - this is a prestigious contest, with the grand prize winner earning a valuable prize worth at least $1.38 !!!

I happen to think that the camera is possessed, or at least somewhat dain-bramaged, from having been forcefully expelled from my coat pocket onto the street during my fall when I broke my ankle in March. It's not been the same since.
Come to think of it, the ankle hasn't been the same either ... it's roughly 95% there, however.
