Maybe that's where the lost Cunningham boy disappeared to.

Pretty crazy storms here in Madison* as well. The weather radar maps showed the storms moving in a line almost due East from the river all the way to Milwaukee. I met a buddy of mine down at the Memorial Union and we sat under a covered section of the Terrace and watched the storms roll by while drinking beer. Good Times!



*For those of you not familiar with the US state of Wisconsin I am about 74 miles due West of Milwaukee.
One should never stop striving for clarity of thought and precision of expression.
I would prefer my humanity sullied with the tarnish of science rather than the gloss of religion.

This little sinkhole will be nothing in comparison to the sinkhole that will arrive in 2012. It will swallow all your cities and all your peoples... but it will never be deep enough to swallow all your sins.

That's crazy. Just a few miles down here to your south(east), we got virtually nothing. And we really need the rain (maybe not THAT much). Ah well...

I'm surprised that SUV driver couldn't just kick it into 4WD and drive out of there. Isn't that what those are made for?

Milwaukee Sinkhole would be a good name for a band.
