The River Rises!!

[UPDATING finished - Now with exclusive photos!]

Well I hadn't planned on pix and vid today when I went out. As far as news on the flood was concerned, I had been reading that levels had remained the same over the last several days. But when I got to York & Brunswick street, I saw a huge barricade, guards and a lot of people looking down Brunswick... With good reason... The Waters is up a LOT!

That's a lot more water than a few days ago.

While in Kings Place I heard two disturbing bits of rumor; 1. That the water is going to surpass the 2008 levels (deemed the worst flood in the last 30 years or so). 2. That the Princess Margaret St. bridge is going to close (and then I heard it was closed, but I haven't seen any actual news on that, which IF they closed that bridge, it'd be BIG news and CBC would be reporting on it). IF, they close the Princess Margaret Bridge, well that's gonna screw the city big time. All the people who live on the Northside will have one direct way and several indirect ways to get home. They'd have to drive to like Mactaquac, where the dam is, which is like 30km away and then drive back down the other side of the river to get home.
So crazy!
Here's video from today:

Weird mood today... Came home and had the urge to listen to No Doubt.... I'm not a huge fan, only like the 'hits'... Which, I have their 'Greatest Hits' CD, so threw that on...


I also noticed today that I have two of 'The Prodigy' albums... I can't remember ever buying those lol...

Keep your rubber boots and a canoe handy!

Some pix from today, May 1st - 24 Days to age 46!

He Is (A Religious Song)

We're standing here by the abyss and the world is in flames
Two star-crossed lovers reaching out to the beast with many names

He is
He's the shining and the light without whom I cannot see
And he is
Insurrection, he is spite, he's the force that made me be
He is
Nostro dis pater, nostr' alma mater
He is

We're hiding here inside a dream and all our doubts are now destroyed
The guidance of the morning stars will lead the way into the void

He is
He's the shining and the light without whom I cannot see
And he is
Insurrection, he is spite, he's the force that made me be
He is
Nostro dis pater, nostr' alma mater
He is

He is
He's the shining and the light without whom I cannot see
And he is
Insurrection, he is spite, he's the force that made me be
He is
He's the shining and the light without whom I cannot see
And he is
The disobedience that holds us together
He is

Nostro dis pater, nostr' alma mater


And we are falling over the precipice
