Talk about rain!! A thunderstorm warning turned into an all out flood. I was amazed by the amount of water and how fast it was flowing through our neighborhood.
Good news - The power is back on after 2 days! Nothing like a 98 degree day and no AC!
>> I think its time to move! :)

Barcadia: Game Night at the Bar
Forget dropping all that dough at Dave and Busters or Main Event for a players card and some weak drinks. Head down to Henderson and check out Barcadia (Bar and arcade) for some of the best beers on tap as well as your favorite games.
One of the best games, aside from skee-ball, is an over-sized version of Jenga. Oh yeah! Sit on the patio at your own risk of falling towers of wood. At that point everyone cheers for the winner and pieces are collected for another round. They have 3 tables set up so your chances are good that you'll have the opportunity to play. Each block has a doodle or some absurd saying. You'll find yourself screaming at your teammate, "Grab the cock block" while you pull out the piece with a chicken drawn on it :)
Personally, I like to flash the dirty ones or read them out loud as I successfully pull out a block.
If Jenga is not the game for you, you can also play Mrs. Pacman, Mortal Combat and a slew of vintage arcade games that only cost a quarter!! Yeah can you believe it?? Usually you would pay a buck and a half anywhere else. (And those games are'nt near as fun)
Speaking of good deals - This is the only spot in town that has PBR and 25 other beers on tap. Variety is all over this bar. The people are friendly and everyone is out to have a good time. If you end up here late at night and want to get your groove on, check out the Slip In across the street.
