9/20    Downtown Sacramento floods.

        It's classic when one of the witnesses points out, "I think his
        Pathfinder took the wrong path!"  I feel sorry for that Joe Avilano
        guy.  Let this be a reminder; don't drive through water--you never can
        tell how deep it gets.
        \_ For those who don't speak Tagalog: when he tries bailing water out
           of the car with his sneaker, his mother calls him an idiot.
        \_ He thought he's driving a Hummer H1 with a snorkeling kit.

12/2    So I am trying to convince my company to take disaster planning
        more seriously. Does anyone have any hard numbers on how often

        flooded anyway?

           a tin foil hat wearing nutcase.
           \_ You were. Anyway, the article doesn't say there will be

5/4     http://www.unfccc.de/resource/docs/convkp/kpeng.html for the full text
        of the Kyoto protocol.  This is the full, real text.  As far as I can
        tell it matches various versions from other places around the net.
