So since moving to Houston I’ve had to aquaint myself with new kinds of days. In New York we had snow days, when it would snow so much it wasn’t wise/safe to go to work. Down here we have hurricane evacuation days (got to experience that less than a month after moving here) and “rain days” (that I dot to experience for the first time today). A rain day in Houston is when it rains so much (10.7 inches in three hours) that the streets flood, including the frontage roads for the highways and some of the highways.
It makes for great excitement and a day off to work on stuff for ALA. I’ve putting the final touches on my presentation. Plus, trying to help Jane upgrade her Wordpress. As well as a little blog reading and writing, of course!
The really sad thing is that this is the first time that I’ve had to catch up on any sort of professional development stuff. Work has been VERY busy with working on the Libraries Strategic Directions, and new content management system. So the rain day as afforded me some time to catch-up.
The main difference between today’s flooding and the flooding that happens when we get 30 minutes of rain is the extent of it. All of Houston versus a few blocks.
Not a good welcome to the city.
Welcome to Houston!, Watch out for flooding! where are you working?
hope you don’t mind I will add you to my incomplete list of TX Librarian bloggers
