Ivan
Ivan came and went Friday night, dumping buckets of rain. We
had some water damage in the downstairs study. We think that water came via
the old cracked caulking around the upstairs bathroom window and managed to
work its way down to our ceiling. Saturday and Sunday were beautiful days
but the Susquehanna and Bull Run stream continued to rise throughout the weekend,
culminating in some pretty impressive flooding by Sunday morning. The bridge
that crosses the Susquehanna was closed to traffic so everyone in town was
out walking across it to check out the damage. Dave and I took some pics which
I posted here.
We had a pretty busy weekend otherwise. Friday night we went to a trustee
dinner at Bucknell which was a lot of fun. One of the trustee's mentioned
a fabulous tail-gate party that was going on Saturday before the football
game which worked out rather well considering the host of said party was
also sitting at the table with us. So Saturday we walked over to the stadium
and after an hour had to agree, it was a fabulous tail-gate. It was an amazing
game as well. Bucknell beat Cornell 15-9. All through the game there were
announcements that Lewisburg had declared a curfew from dusk-to-dawn and
that there were flood warnings etc. It was also really cold out. It felt
like late October as opposed to mid-September. All in all it was a fun weekend.
Next thing on our radar is Dave's birthday in a few weeks. I can't decide
between a My Little Pony birthday theme or Care Bears. Hmmm...
