Event Of The Century

As anyone who watched the national news tonight discovered, we've now had an absolutely insane first three days of December, weather-wise.  More precipitation than the entire month of November, with mudslides, flooding, and hurricane-force winds knocking down trees and knocking out power all over the state.  I-5 closed between Olympia and Portland, the entire downtown area of Woodinville underwater...  Here on Capitol Hill at a nice high elevation (and on the third floor!) things are quiet and dry, but over by the boat there was a big mudslide that threatened some condos and closed the main road.  Outside it's once again pouring, and rain remains in the forecast for the rest of the week.

Oh yeah, and apparently I successfully defended a thesis dissertation this afternoon.  All that remains is to make a few final revisions to the document and turn it in to the graduate school office, and then after slightly more than twenty-four years of schooling, I'm done.

Wow.

I'm sure in another week or two it'll finally hit me, but for now... wow.
