    Oh and heres two of the pictures.

    Oh thing was as it was coming down i looked at the street drain and wondered how much water it would take to overwhelm it (it's 1.5foot long and 1 foot wide) then the street just started to fill up. (thats the 2nd pic)

    In the first it's just the high street around the corner from me, thats been dug up to repair the damaged gas mains from last years flash floods.

    It was coming down so hard that it filled up a 20 gallon water drum in the yard that was empty in under 2 Min's.

    Smoke. :(

    Talk to myself.

    Talk to cats like they're people.

    Over-think everything.

    When I backspace over letters and/or make corrections as I type, I feel bad for those poor letters, as if I just killed them. I feel especially bad if I delete a word, then change my mind and retype it.

    Ramble, often incoherently, into people's voicemails.

    Twist my goatee hair into little spikes while I'm at my desk and then forget about them and proceed to talk to business associates and higher-ups.

    Walk into screen doors at night.

    Probably more of a series of senior moments.

    I'll go into the kitchen with the express purpose of starting the dishwasher, but then just get myself a drink and forget the DW.

    Or, I'll load up the dishwasher after dinner, put the soap powder in, close it, and walk away without starting it.

    Mary is amused by niether of these lapses.

    When typing corrections, instead of just tabbing over to the misspelled word in the sentence, I backspace all the way back to the misspelled word and then retype all the other words that came after even if they were spelled correctly.

    ^I do that. It's silly, but, in my case, I think it's the result of the live training module I took when we first got Xerox desktop workstations at work in 1983. The module told you to backspace to correct. If you just wiped the word and hit delete, it would say "You seem to be having some trouble..." and keep showing you to backspace.
