anything to do with astro.....

ok i admit to planting a hedge row to hide the light for the observatory over last week, now i get punished with this

now have had well over 100mm rain from 3:30pm today, the sewer backed up and over flowed - floaters galore and i now have water higher than the event in April 2015. my estimate is over the 1:100 flood levels as the manhole cover for hunter water has gone under, as too many local intersections.

If you ever sell, pick a day when the water is up, 'lake frontage' properties are worth much more !!!!
