The Pictures Just Keep Comin’

This is the view of Old Sacramento from the CalSTRS building…..15th floor! CalSTRS is the short version of California State Teachers Retirement System and the building is just two years old. As a matter of interest, I am told the building sways on a windy day. Now wouldn’t THAT be odd?!

Bridge Over Troubled Waters?

Sacramento's Tower Bridge

Tower Bridge spanning the Sacramento River

Definitely a bridge. Definitely over water. I’m not certain it is a bridge over “troubled” waters but hey, YOU try to write that phrase without singing at least PART of the Simon & Garfunkel song of the same name (for the young uns out there Simon & Garfunkel were a very talented song writing team during the ’70’s. After much drama they split. Check it out when you have some time.) inside your head.

This photo was taken with my Windows Phone 7 and I think it turned out really good. Nice job Samsung!

It is now March 22 and the river is really up.  We have been having lots of rain in the valley and even more snow up in the mountains.  Since it is March and Spring has just sprung, the weather will be getting warm pretty soon.  This means, the already full reservoirs will be filling with new runoff and our current def-con 4 situation will be getting an adjustment to a 5.  Hopefully our levees will hold and keep the water where it belongs…..which is inside the levees!
