Tuesday had strange weather. The day was nice.

But, towards sunset some fog rolled in.

This led to bad traffic at rush hour.


The sun broke through at points. But, it moved in and out as I drove home.





But, I guess it still led to bad traffic.

The next day the weather was nice.

And, the leaves are near peak.


Due to traffic, I drove home back roads through Berlin. As

That led me to go home by the Reservoir. Very pretty.






Thursday on the way home it started to rain.

This meant some different roads again.

Friday my drive home started with a big rainbow outside of work.

It is hard to see in the photos, but it was actually a double rainbow with a fainter one outside the main one.

As I drove home, the rain got worse and worse.

A major storm was moving over the area.

Many of the roads were very bad or closed altogether.

After I got home we lost power for a short bit. Soon after, our doorbell rang. This was a surprise as we weren’t expecting anyone. It turned out to be

(We live on a hill. That is often a good thing for us.)

About 11 the roads showed clear on the news and maps, so he headed home.
This morning there were still signs of flooding.

We did some housework and I washed my wedding rings before we set out.

Date: 2016-10-23 03:22 am (UTC)i discovered that if i bent (only) the backside of the ring to be rectangle rather than round, i could put the ring on turned sideways (the wide rectangle) to get over my big knuckle, then turn it upright (narrow rectangle) and it stayed on and stayed put WITHOUT spinning! but the ring i wear is cheap, and bending it out of shape doesnt hurt it.
i like the idea of an o-ring band. its still there, still symbolic.

Eventually they wear out.
