          In addition to my previous statement, I'll add that we've had thunderstorms three of the past four days, which means my daughter's room has flooded three of the last four days. Last night's storm included high winds, torrential rain, and hail, resulting in water damage in a bathroom and my son's room, too.

          And this morning I found that the hail did this

          It's been a long week.
          I appreciate the joke, though, @Seul…

            Is any of this covered by your homeowner's insurance? I know this probably falls into the "act of god" category but, still...

                  Dented the shit out of it too, what a nightmare.
                  The roof, though, agh. I'm sorry for your trouble, Chris.
                  You just finished a bunch of work on the house if I recall.  ::)

                  Those are my principles, and if you don't like them…
                  Well, I have others.

                    I wish it were just a storm causing damage in my town. Minneapolis is making the world news for all the wrong reasons. we have had 2 days and nights of rioting resulting in buildings being looted and burned. This police officer was wrong and should be charged, but out economy is in the brink now, and this isn’t helping. Our governor called up the national guard to assist. All nearby towns are closing all shops and boarding up windows in anticipation of the rioting spreading to the suburbs.

                    I work about 2 miles from Minneapolis, but thankfully I live further out. I have a family member who is a police officer, and his family is not looking forward to him going back to work.

                    Minnesotans are better than this, police are better than this…

                    End rant.

                    Happy birthday to my lovey wife tomorrow.

                      This was St Louis 6 years ago with the Michael Brown shooting. We had widespread rioting throughout North county and violent demonstrations downtown. A lot of the violent offenders arrested weren’t from the area at all but came in town for the looting and burning. The sad thing is that there were so many peaceful demonstrations that were ruined by a few folks.

                      The Judge who did the sentencing for Officer Wilson lived a few blocks away from me, so there was a lot of tension in my neighborhood. The national guard was set up 2 blocks from my home. Luckily all the demonstrations done near us were peaceful, poignant, and did justice to what the family wanted to see.

                        We'll see.  The roof repair guys are coming tomorrow to try and find the leak, which will determine what repairs will look like. Water remediation crew was here today and they were optimistic about the relative lack of damage and retained moisture in the walls, floor, and ceiling.  The deductible on our homeowners insurance is fairly high, so this all may be out of pocket, regardless of coverage.

                        All in all, it's a disheartening chain of events, but we're healthy and safe, and stuff can always get fixed. We'll be fine.

                          Why are the English capable of being such utter twats? Since households visits have been permitted neighbours on two sides have had people visit everyday, drinking, music banging. Pre lockdown they were pretty reasonable families, no they are acting like fuckwits.

                          Legally, as they have young children, there is very little that can be done short of appealing to their better nature. I have to have very confidential phone calls and have been working from home.

                          Maybe I should just give in and go to a beach in Kent and get into a drunken fight like others seem to be doing. We are a sorry nation.

                              Some a-hole stole my cc# last week, likely using a skimmer at a gas station, and charged $220 worth of food and gas in Maryland. Of course, that money will be returned to me by my bank but it’s still irritating that this kinda crap still happens.

                                            It was heartening to see that the great English public made international news for their thoughtful, considerate, compassionate behaviour on Bournemouth beach. The locals I've spoken to in Southend, where I work (finally back in the office from time to time) have said they feel trapped in their own homes. Most of those visiting are Londoners, but some reported driving 3 1/2 hours… To Southend?? Are you fucking stupid?
