That was a nice week off

So, in case some of you hadn't heard, school was closed for the past week due to numerous mudlides, a sink-hole, a river that ate cars, and flooding (I'll try to post some pics). It was the most absurd storm I have ever seen. At some points during the strom it was raining 3 inches an hour. The 126 was closed from Wells Rd to Filmore, the 150 was closed from the Y to Boccali's, and the 33 was closed from the 101 to Oak View. Add all that up and you get one nice week off from work. Monday was wasted by drinking a 30 pack of Miller Lite between Jomo, Josh, and Myself. And the next four days followed in a similar, but more moderate, fashion. I do not have internet at my house so I was unable to post. For some reason no companies offer high speed internet in Oxnard. What the hell is that? They say we aren't in the service area! Not like it matters now. Jimmy already moved into his new Santa Paula apartment, as his wedding is only 2.5 weeks away. Josh and I will be moving in a month to either Ojai or SP. But back on topic. There is a portion of the 150 between Steckel and campus where a 75 ft. section of the dirt under the road is washed away from a landslide. So what's left is an unsupported bridge of concrete over a fairly high and steep cliff. This is going to take many many many months to fix. The options are to drive around the 33, which has taken from 1-4 hours from SP, or park at Mupu Rd and hike the oil road to campus back and forth everyday. I have opted for the latter. This is going to get very old very soon... I need another 30 pack.
