Drainage.

I did not watch the Superbowl last night.
Kickoff, though a reasonable time for all time zones in America, was at 11:30 last night. I don't know how long the game went, but I imagine I would have been up until about 4 last night, if not later. And I know I would not have been able to watch only part.

I might see if I can find some legal recording online, because it sounds like the game was better than most Superbowls. Also, Tom Petty?


Every time it rains here I am re-impressed with the drainage systems. Walking in the rain, there are of course puddles and sheets of water flowing down the street. But an hour or two after the rain stops, even the low-lying puddles tend to disappear. It is usually wet walking after the rain, but in the way a misted sponge is wet, never slick or splashy. Maybe cobbled streets help in this? Either way, whoever designed the drainage here deserves a posthumous award.
