And has been quite a lot lately.  I haven't been out to the birds much, though I get visitors outside my window at work, and the usual crow visits at home.  I'm not sure where they come from, but they always know when I go out into the yard and appear on the wires or the fence or the roof suddenly to see if I have left food offerings worthy of them.  (They weren't interested in the pumpkin seeds I put out yesterday.  I haven't gone out back today, only to the front yard to rescue the paper from the rain.)

There is a small river swiftly running southward on my street to the drains.  It has rained almost 3/4 of an inch since midnight, I think it rained 2.5 inches around my neighborhood on Monday.  It was pretty nice yesterday for the holiday.  I need to get out.  I suppose the Fill will be absolutely flooded, on a normal basis it's pretty boggy.  I think I want to go fight through shopping crowds, not to necessarily buy anything, but to be part of an anonymous mass of humanity after being at home for two days.
