please send good thoughts for manitou springs and surrounding areas tonight.

rain, flash flood warnings, fountain creek nearly overflowing its banks--more rain on the way. a very worrisome situation.

(note: I can sort of understand the fascination with watching danger--but seeing all those people standing around waiting for the flood wave to come down was just weird)

1. My favorite town in America.

I've spent a lot of time in Manitou Springs (I don't remember much, haha) but its such a cool little town.

2. the area has seen flooding three times already this summer. so far, at least, the creeks are within

their banks (barely, in the case of fountain creek). manitou springs is a unique town--coffin races, fruitcake tosses---haunted houses. . .

3. If you are there stop posting and get to high ground...

Higher than that.

4. no, not in manitou and not terribly near the creek. was just watching the special coverage, and

hoping we were not going to have a fourth flood. believe me, I would not be one of those standing right next to the creek--I watched the coverage as it rose from a few inches to the top of the wall in what seemed a matter of minutes.
