Does the flooding get any worse than in front of Westchester Elementary?   Nothing like hitting that pond at 40 mph!

Where is the worst street flooding in Decatur?  If you want to augment your claim with a photo, I’m happy to post ‘em here.

Dan Magee sends in the poster for this year’s annual Walk, Bike & Roll to School day on October 7th.  After your annual trek, hike your butt up to the Square around 6:30p for prizes, fun and celebrities!

Celebrities?

I hope my cheesy post title helped you get your daily dose of calcium for the day.

Yum…acidy.

RainHarvest Systems has partnered with 5 Seasons Brewery to produce beer made entirely from on-site captured rainwater. RainHarvest Systems, an expert in rainwater catchment systems, and 5 Seasons Restaurant and Brewery, Atlanta’s premier micro brewery, both believe this to be the first micro brewed beer to be made entirely with rainwater in the United States.

As part of the partnership, 5 Seasons Brewery is creating a beer to be used by RainHarvest Systems for publicity events intended to promote awareness of rainwater catchment. The first event [occurred] on September 14th, 2009 at 7PM at The Decatur Square in Decatur, Georgia, during the National Conference for the American Rainwater Catchment Systems Association.

Emily notes that Garrett Goebel, school board candidate in District 1 and the man who helped keep DM commenters honest during the reconfiguration effort, has launched a website supporting his candidacy.

At the site, you can learn Garrett’s platform, read his bio (including a list of volunteer efforts), endorse Garrett and donate to the campaign.

Oh and don’t miss the pic of Garrett getting down in the mud, building what I can only assume is a castle wall in his yard!
