Out with a group of friends playing some free poker with Riverrush Poker. Krista went out 9th with a keychain and Matt got 4th with a tshirt. I did poorly. Can’t complain about a freeroll.
Driving through a very heavy rain. People are pulled over under bridges waiting for it to pass. I-494 near the Mississippi.
Tim lives right on the route and had a huge party. A few highlights:
* Getting people in the parade to say the word "Meow."
* The brigade of kids armed to the teeth with water guns, buckets and baloons attacking and soaking the parade once they reached 4th Street.
* Tossing a huge water baloon at the KDWB vehicle. They are our local Clear Channel pop station. I aimed for the windshield but instead it flew within inches of the amplified speakers on the roof. I was scolded.
* Shaking US Congressman Mark Kennedy’s hand while pouring a bottle of cold water all over his nice pants.
Out with Bill and Kim for breakfast at the Longfellow Grill.
After having dinner with Garrett, his girlfriend Sarah, his mother Diane, his sister Theresa and his uncle Rick, we decided to break out the sparks and play Katamari. I mistakenly deleted all of the dinner photos.
So of course, due to any storm, the power goes out at Go East. Got to see some incredible lightning from here though. One strike was incredibly vivid and was zapping something on the ground for quite a long time. An enjoyable force of sound blasted over less than a second later and shook everything.
I safely shut down all of our servers, and the UPS units have some battery to spare to keep a couple routers running. Having my headlamp helps quite a bit in the dark server room. Now I get to just wait for power to come back on.
For some reason in the parking lot, a purple vehicle showed up and a guy inside was wacking off. Quite strange. His plate was MN JFW559. I called the police and now I am watching the cops chase him. Fun times.
