I thought I'd just post a few words today.. I'm on my lunch break right now, work is the only place I have computer access still so blah
Anyway Texas is a MADHOUSE right now. My brother who goes to school near Houston left last night at around 10:30 and as of 6:30 he hadn't even made it to Livingston. My mother-in-law is freaking out because they are saying Rita will still be a hurricane by the time it gets to Nacogdoches with 100+ mph winds. She's worried we will have to come get them if the house blows down. Plus my grandparents and dad live in mobile homes so I think they are going to wait out the storm in their old house in Hemphill. Every hotel here in Dallas and pretty much anywhere in Texas is booked solid.
What worries me is that it looks like this year we are looking at the future of hurricane season. Can our gulf coast survive several consecutive years of category 5 storms? Personally I think it will be a type of place that only the "crazies" woulds still live, a basically fend-for-yourself type thing. Gas refineries are going to have to be rebuilt elsewhere.
in other news....... i got a promotion here at work, I'm the purchasing agent now. It's a challenge learning everything but it's been going good and I'm enjoying it. Pascal is working at a restaurant called Berryhill Baja Grill.
peace and love cats
