Summer Heat and Exotic Curry

Image
It has been hot and humid. We usually get some breaks in the heat and humidity in the summer. Not this year. The relativity humidity barely edged below 60% in the last month. We don't get dew on the lawns. We got heat instead. I think the heat and humidity is why I got a summer cold. I am mostly resting this weekend. One of the things we do when we travel is get flavorings and spices. We broke into some curry this past week that we obtained in a market in Turkmenistan last year. It was good. It was made in Russia and distributed out of Belarus. They translated into Kazakh and Armenian. I liked the taste and the label.

Today is a bad day in the Twin Tiers area. We are experiencing very bad flooding. There are reports of houses being swept away and so on. Up on the farm we are high and almost dry. Work was shut down today because of flooding in Greene. One of the folks had their car swept away as he was trying to get to work. A Bridge on Route 88 collaped this morning.

The following pic and movie is the Chenango river before cresting (I believe) at about 8:30 AM on Wednesday June 28th 2006. This is unquestionably a significant event. We haven't been to crest yet. Stay tuned.
