i had a thought walking through the rain: what we need to deal with flooding issues are elephants. if you just let an elephant walk through the streets it would suck all the water up and voila...
....except there are some problems. it's too cold for elephants, and that's not clean water, and it has to find it's way back out eventually.
so, robot elephants. seriously. this is the future of flood control.
i mean, we could maybe deal with the weather issue by genetically engineering mammoths, but it's still not humane to have them out lapping up water on the street.

it's dry in here and not likely to spill over. i don't feel the structure got the test i was expecting it to, but it's not really a needed test, either. i'm not expecting this kind of snow again next year. but the temperature didn't climb to where it threatened it would, and the rain didn't come down nearly as hard, either. really, windsor seems to have completely skipped the system.
that's ok with me. there's still a lot of water to get out of here, but the temperature is going to drop enough to stop the melt and let it drain.
head is also clearing. what a wasted week...

geez. this person is stuck in the 80s. that's why this sucks.
1) strats, jaguars and jazzmasters were integral to alt. rock, which is what people nowadays are going to go looking to them for. green day, billy corgan, john frusciante. tom morello also used a strat. they're good PUNK guitars BECAUSE they aren't muddy with full chord riffs.
2) you need an ibanez entry for the nu metal, emo and post-hardcore kids: tone that sounds like a corporate robot vomiting out cockroaches through autotune vocoders, while screaming FEED ME.
3) why pick angus young of all people (gross) as an sg player, when you've got zappa and thayil amongst others to choose from? worse is that it's again years out of date: hi gain sgs created that mall punk sound. i bought my sg due to thayil, but the high gain mall punk thing is why kids go for sgs today. i bet a high school survey would conclude that well over 90% of people under 20 have never even heard of either angus young or ac/dc (that's not dad music anymore, it's grandpa music, and grandpa grew out of it many years ago, if he didn't overdose on something (possibly cheese) before kid got to know him).
4) if you want that mevins/boris sound, you probably want to go with a paul - while realizing the sound is mostly in the amp.
