Matt,

Constructing the ark already ? We got 4-5 inches more snow last nite..there is about 50 cm snow by now.

Hope things will get better. I just read the Howard Hughes new book. Hope stead won't become like the muddy field that Howard had in Culver City...way back then.

The AVIATOR book was interesting...didi you know HH had been in 8 car and aeroplane accidents.

Rofl,

Reno floods every 10 to 15 years. Any "native" would know that!

When the flooding gets really bad, is when it gets a couple of inches of snow on the valy foor. Then rains above 7 thounsand feet elev.

I can remeber 5 New Year floods (including this years), and I am only 38. So 100 year floods... lol blah!
