Our family cottage will without a doubt flood or is flooding as I write this. The first picture is when we had a very close call in March and the second is the projections. The first picture is about 25 feet and the projection is to just over 40 feet. Water enters the cottage at 31 feet. The worst would be if it goes even higher than projected and goes into the second floor like in 72 after Agnes.





This will be a very big mess to clean up. I'm sure I will go to help and will take some pictures. Besides flooding here most of my relatives are also enduring flooding in Endicott NY. I saw some footage today and it looked pretty bad.

Partay to celebrate the birthday of (e:mike) at our new apartment.

Saturday night at like partay time. We want all (e:strip)pers to come and have some fun.

What would you do if your landlord showed your apartment without giving notice first? Today I was sitting at home and was very startled by very hard banging at my door. It was the owner of the building I live in who had just purchased the building in April. He was standing there on his phone and I had to wait for him to get off it to figure out what was the purpose of his visit. He was there to show it with someone at his side. I was so upset and let him know that but I also permitted the viewing. It was so awkward having people come into my SPACE that I paid for without any warning whatsoever. He showed it to two different people back to back. I am so furious.

This is the letter that I sent to him giving my written notice and requesting 24 hrs notice even though it is already required by law.

Dear Tony and Pat,                             7/012011

I have decided to take the next step and move in with my significant other. We found a nice place on *** Ave for the two of us. I am writing to officially give 60 days’ notice as required by the early termination clause of the lease. I will be out of the apartment before September 1st. Please rest assured that the apartment will be left empty and that it will be clean. The apartment has been very good to me and I am sure you will not have any trouble renting it. Please give me 24 hours notice if you would like to show it or inspect it so that I can make sure it looks nice.

Given that I am giving 60 days notice including my conversation by phone with Tony today, and that I am willing to fully cooperate with showings of the apartment, I am requesting the return of my security deposit after moving out. In good faith I will pay my last month’s rent as required by the lease agreement. I do wish you both the best in your endeavors and hope that you will find a suitable tenant for the apartment.

Sincerely,

Libertad

After watching this I realize how much I miss my Coco bunny. He is so cute!!! He is with my baby bunny's daddy until sometime after Mike and I move. It will be the longest since going to Cuba that I have been away from him. Precious bunny brings cuteness to all!

BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) - Authorities tell News 4 an NFTA Police officer was forced to open fire on a suspected car thief.

Just after 1:30 p.m. on Thursday, police were called to Linwood Avenue and Bryant Street. 40-year-old James Delacy, an NFTA Police officer who has been on the force for two years and was previously with the Erie County Sheriff's office, was on patrol spotted a stolen car with a suspect inside. The suspect took off running and Officer Delacy gave chase, eventually catching the large man, believed to weigh over 300 pounds.

The suspect started to get the better of the officer during the scuffle, gaining control of the officer's pepper spray and blasting the officer with it. Officer Delacy pulled his service weapon and shot the suspect in the rear end. The suspect has been identified as Kevin Allen of Buffalo, no age or address available.

Both Allen and Officer Delacy were taken to ECMC for their injuries. Both are expected to be okay. The NFTA has launched an internal investigation with the assistance of the Buffalo Police Department internal affairs division.
