Catching Up

Been a little while since I've gotten a chance to post something.  Oddly enough now that the hockey season is over, I am busier doing stats now than I was during the season.  That's the way it goes. 

Going to make this pretty quick today.

Flooding continues in North Dakota.  It seems like this is a yearly occurrence for residents as snow melts and spring rain begins.  This time Minot is in the thick of things.  Residents are being forced to leave due to the rising Souris River.  If like me, you are unfamiliar with this river, check out a map.  It is one of the strangest flowing rivers I can recall seeing.

Wildfires have been tearing through the southwest where conditions have been extremely hot and dry.  What's worse?  According to some, the fires that burned thousands of acres and dozens of homes was caused by Mexican drug smugglers.  Seriously.

Things got a bit hairy at the College World Series in Omaha yesterday.  The central plains were hit hard by storms yesterday that also rolled across the baseball field.  Here are a couple pictures that would have surely freaked me out.

I've been holding on to this one for some time now.  This is what Chicago looks like from the air as fog roles in from the lake.  Pretty cool.
