Holy fuck, Old Faithful erupted behind my house this morning...
Edited on Fri Aug-11-06 09:33 AM by bicentennial_baby
:o Or something similar...a water main went and shot up like a geyser...Sniffa and I saw it just before they shut it off...Our parking lot looked like a mudslide had just moved through, which it essentially did...

Go to this link, watch the brief video to see it:

10. If it makes you feel any better, we've been losing our electricity
with every thunderstorm. When we lose the electricity, the pump doesn't work for the well and no water.

12. At least the fundies will go away.
I'm not sure what the religious beliefs of my neighbor is, but I hope it's fundy. They have a really nice pool and we only have a little above ground.

25. Wow..that's something to wake up to
Question, does everyone pronouce Quincy as Quinzy like the newsperson did? It sounded like she subtituted a Z for C. Is that the regular pronunciation in MA?
