Spring thunderstorms all last weekend and most of this week have made for a lot of flooding in my area; fortunately I'm on the side of a hill and don't have any low water crossings between me and town. A lightning strike did take out my internet antenna--this seems to be a yearly thing; there's not much you can do to protect electronics that have to live at the top of a 50' lightning rod. Fortunately this time around I had a surge protector in front of my router so I don't have to re-discover how to switch the upstream port on it. I'm starting on a paper that's due in just under 3 weeks so hopefully the mathematical stars align and I can manage to do something interesting between now and then!
