Went to see the movie "Madagascar" last night, pretty funny movie. The only problem I had was that the lead characters looked like the animators had gone with the decision not to make the leads look as realistic as the other animals in the movie. For example, the bottom of the paws on the lion "Alex" were flat. His toes were also sort of squared off. The noses on the four main characters looked like layers of felt rather then a more natural look to them. Don't know why they choose to make the main characters look more like toys then the other animals but they did. Other then that, the movie was pretty good. I liked the penguins the most. The only thing that would have made the movie a little better would have been if there had been a bear of some kind some where.

While we were in the movie, we got some rain. The area around where the movie theater is, got a small amount of rain while we where enjoying the movie, near home we got a heavy amount of rain and some wind. It was bad enough that the wind blew wind in and got my bed wet, my bed is near a southern exposure window. Had to sleep on towels last night, and I have a headache. Don't think its related to the sleeping on a wet bed.....but who knows (I kid). Once we got home, there was another burst of heavy rain. It rained a time or two over night was was raining lightly when I went out to feed the dogs. Not sure how much rain we got, and while we did really need this. Mother Nature really didn't need to try and get us caught up all at once either. I would hedge a guess that we got close to three inches. Need to get water out of the basement and put up the new rain gauge this morning.
