Rick Steves' Europe: Disaster in the Cinque Terre:  'via Blog this'

" . . . on Tuesday, October 25. Flash flooding, triggered by unusually heavy rain, ripped through Italy's Liguria region and inflicted serious damage on the Cinque Terre towns of Monterosso and Vernazza. In these towns, flooding was accompanied by landslides, filling streets with rocks, mud and debris up to 12 feet deep."

Oh my!

Sharp Park Golf Course - Environmental Controversy

Image via Wikipedia

I've played at Sharp Park Golf Course only once before.  I was looking forward to playing it again this weekend, but alas, the week-long winter storm dashed any hopes of that happening today (had to cancel our reservation). I'm sure the pond is flooding the fairway and standing water must be everywhere.

So it's interesting timing that this SFGate news article caught my eye, Frogs, golfers both endangered at S.F.'s Sharp Park.

Frogs, and snakes, and a San Francisco golf program putting a drain on the city General Fund ... oh my!
