As this was formally the "Keneyrifffic Index" for years, and measured by 40 ounce bottles of Colt 45, if you want another opinion from someone closer to Hartford, try goat-track.com The host of that site brings a new twist to hacking at local golf courses, as well as other cool stuff like Yankees Haiku that I like to contribute to when it's not Haiku Thursday here.

TAURID METEORS: The annual Taurid meteor shower is underway and it could be a good show. 2008 is a "swarm year" for the Taurids: Between Nov. 5th and 12th, Earth is due to pass through a swarm of gritty debris from parent comet 2P/Encke. When the same thing happened in 2005, sky watchers observed a slow drizzle of midnight fireballs for nearly two weeks. Click here for your daily astronomy report.

8/29 I literally almost physically bumped into Paul McCartney as he was being rushed out of the stadium last night. He was within a foot of me. It was just a mass of body guards surrounding him. He came out of nowhere. Lots of celebs last night. Quite the madhouse. Kevin Bacon did a little dance in his seat to Footloose.

Stamford (WTNH) _
A deluge of rain pounds part of Connecticut, causing flash floods and some potentially dangerous situations. Stamford was hit especially hard with reports of over five inches of rain. In some cases, drivers were forced to ditch their vehicles to head for higher ground and others were forced to wait for the waters to subside. "Oh my God, this is crazy. There's no way I can get home now," said Monika Rodriguez of Stamford. "We have a dangerous situation. Manhole covers are off and it's not safe to go through. I know people are upset but they'll just have to wait a little while longer," said Capt. Bill Avalos of the Stamford Fire Department. Wilton, New Canaan and Norwalk were also hit hard by the rain.
DARIEN, Conn.
-- Some business owners in Darien will be in cleanup mode Friday after Thursday night's torrential downpours. The first selectman said at one point the water was 5 feet high on Heights Road at the peak of the storm. Some residents even had to be evacuated. Public works crews are also busy working in Stamford after serious flooding there

STAMFORD - Mayor Dannel Malloy is urging Gov. M. Jodi Rell to declare last week's rainstorm a disaster so residents and business owners can receive federal assistance to help pay for damage. City workers continue to tally the costs, but Malloy estimated residents and businesses suffered millions of dollars in damage and that repairs could cost the city hundreds of thousands of dollars.
