Hi all,
Big floods (almost unprecedented) in the east of my country (and neighboring countries had been hit much much worse - scores of people are dead and missing and thousands are evacuated)... [:(]
Leo "Apollo11"
That's terrible, Leo. Why such flooding? Was there more rain than usual or a bigger snowpack melting from the mountains?

Thanks for all the birthday wishes, Brothers! [&o][&o][&o]
My birthday was a smashing success! I completed my first Century Ride, finishing up at 102 miles in the Tour de Cure, raising money to fight diabetes. I also made a new friend on the ride, who it turns out lives 2 blocks away from me in the same neighborhood! [8D]
Then, my lovely bride had a great dinner prepared with some friends and she baked a pumpkin pie for me!
Friends brought me a big bottle of Meyers Rum, and Sara and Alex somehow managed to get me an official Masters logo polo shirt! I didn't realize it, but you can't get them anywhere but at Augusta National, and you have to be allowed in to even get to the pro shop there. Sara worked a connection with her old college room mate who lives near there and volunteers at the tournament. They get pro shop privileges one day a year and picked up the shirt for me. I love the shirt, and love the effort to obtain it for me.
I'm a lucky guy! [8D]
Sounds like a good day, USS Mike. [8D]

I feel for those people. 1997 here.
Leo and Schanilec, I saw some footage of these. [X(] We have had our share of severe floods in Middle Tennessee (May 2010 for example), but that is devastating to see.
And for added "fun", old land mines from the war are feared to have been unearthed and taken along by the floodwaters.[:(]

NATO stuff, Grollub? Give my regards to the slavering bear just across the border, will ya?
Not really. We're not a NATO country. Doing the same TEWT (Tactical Exercise Without Troops) with a historical twist that we've done for a couple of years now.
The happenings in Crimea and Ukraine have put an extra dimension on it though.

Whoah. Just heard on the news that kids can't have chocolate milk anymore in Connecticut. I guess it's bad for them by somebody's standards.
And here we went and dumped all that tea into Boston harbor, just so some $*** brained A$$**** can make laws about Big Gulps, and Chocolate Milk ???
Boy, oh boy. How far we have come.

Ooooh ... and maybe Michoacan ??!! Just saw an advert on the tube. Kohler has a hands-off toilet. No $hit. Do your stuff, wipe off, and get up and the toilet does it's own majic thing. Wonder what happens if you still have a klingon.
Boy, oh boy. How far we have come.

John, I just read that The Soggy Dollar Bar in Jost Van Dyke was rated as one of the 5 best beach bars in the world. Wonder if the Painkillers had anything to do with it?

Huge amount of rain in short period of time (we had +20 degrees centigrade for almost two months - the snow was almost nonexistent this season)... [:(]
The rain mostly hit neighboring Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia - but we share same rivers so we are "collateral victims"... the river Sava is at unprecedented height...

Good morning all.
We a lot of snow this year. But a slow melt made flooding a non-issue this year. Finally got nice out this week. low 70's this last weekend.

Sleeping in with him until 6:30am? [X(] Not that there's anything wrong with that, I guess. Does Mrs. USS Mike know about this? [&:]
