The Joel Train

the storm wasnt as bad as everyone thought it would be, lots of people are without power but water supplies for most of the area stayed intact. i drove down to the mall where the usually tiny Swannanowa River spilled over its banks and flooded the parking lot of a Lowes (the hardware store, we dont have those grocery stores here.). there were cars left stranded in the lot with water up to their windshields. biltmore village flooded too. that's the wealthy shopping center that was, at one time, literally the village where the folks who worked up at the bilmore house first lived more than a hundred years ago. now its the place to be if you want to by a hat.
except for sections like these in the river district, the rest of asheville was soggy but unharmed.


i started a new job a few weeks ago. im now doing books for a local restaurant. so now im juggling this job, the media center and a full load at school. speaking of full load, i keep crapping my pants whenever i think all this work. how do i do this to myself?

on the bright side, this is a great opportunity to figure out if i like accounting or if i need to pick something else in a hurry. right now im slowly learning Quickbooks and trying to develop a system that works for me and keeps me from loosing stuff. like my mind.

i'll keep you posted
