Flooded

My office (this is Tim) has been flooded for the past three days. staff waded in on tuesday, but were told to discontinue this practice the next day by the health department. The first floor of our office is okay as it is up a few feet from the ground level. The basement, however, is completely flooded. We also have a community building that we use for meetings and peer support groups; this building was completely flooded as well.

The flooding was caused by a HUGE rain shower we had a few days ago. The downpour lasted almost three days. Our office is located in a "flood plane" so says my boss and nobody was really surprised that this happened. There is probably only an eight block square in kalamazoo that was flooded. There were no deaths or injuries reported. Wow, pretty wild though, eh? here's some pics:

American Idol--MULTIMEDIA!!!

In our last blog post (about a month ago) Jacalyn did an exquisite job of describing our american idol experience in New York City. Although we wish we were able to upload video and pictures to go with this blog, things just didn't happen like that. So, at last, we've managed to get these to you! Hopefully, these pics and videos will be entertaining and help to illustrate our experiences during this exciting time!
