Winter Has Arrived

Yesterday, it was RAINING. The day before, it was RAINING. Today is mostly cloudy, with no rain. Earlier today, I DEFINITELY spotted a little sunlight and That Was Neat but now its just very very cold, like the Winter Sort Of Cold. But back to yesterday...

Because it had been raining so much, the river (Leith River/the river that runs alongside my flat) kinda exploded with all the water come down from the mountains (and just from the sky in general). Anyways, I was hanging out in the library all day because I had a paper to write and, unlike my flat, the library is heated. However, SILLY ME, I forgot my power adapter for my laptop at home. Oops.

So my computer dies... and I'm walking back to my flat and I see a HUGE crowd of people at the edge of the river and also on the bridge over the river that connects Leith Street to Montgomery Ave (my street). Huh, INTERESTING.

I didn't really understand what this whole gathering was about, so I walk over to check out whatever it was that everyone's looking at. WELL, it turns out that a couple of really genius guys thought it would be a great idea to jump into this raging river of madness With Their Surfboards. A little random, but whatevers... They were trying to grab onto this rope that their friend was holding over the bridge. And I THINK they were aiming to just hold on, stand up, and ride the river. Pretty Solid Plan I guess, EXCEPT that all the guys seriously failed at this rope grabbing business, and just ended up floating down the Huge/Brown/Muddy Mess that was Leith River. This Was Amusing. I'm glad I forgot my power adapter. The end.

Ps. Just checked and winter officially begins on June 1st... Four days off, My Bad.
