This week’s AVQ&A is inspired by reader Steve LeGrow’s question:
I have a suggestion, but I’m not entirely sure how to explain it without giving an example first. When I was 9 years old, I purchased
The Blue Album by Weezer and would listen to it constantly while playing Super Mario Bros 2 on the NES. To this day (I’m 35 now) I can’t hear that album without thinking of that game, and vice versa. It’s a win-win for me, because I genuinely love both of them. I was wondering if anyone else links two entirely separate pieces of art together like that, for better or for worse.

PORTSMOUTH, Ohio Residents along the Ohio River have been dealing with flooding this whole week.
The Second Street bridge has been closed for several days and streets have been flooded, preventing residents from getting to their homes. In Portsmouth, near the Ohio River, the gauge reached 56.09 feet.

This is over Flood Stage, which is around 50 feet, so the city of Portsmouth Flood Defense erected Flood Gate #4 to prevent any additional flooding.
The last time the flood gate was erected was in 2018 with the help of the National Guard.
