Where did this thing come from? First I heard about it was around lunch time when I went to store to get lunch. It was packed! People everywhere. Lines at the gas pumps backed up 6 or 7 cars deep for each pump. I was a might perplexed. Then, my phone rang, and the fire station I used to volunteer at wanted to know if I was interested in going to Galveston to help augment the reaction team. I would have loved to, but my company made it clear that we're expected to use every resource to get into the office tomorrow. I was even told that since I live only 2 miles away, it would be really helpful if I would be in the office (even if it means walking), so I can answer the phones.
What the hell? I hate my job sometimes.
Oh well, I'm not worried about the 'Hurricane' (even though it's just a storm in my opinion). I've got several cases of bottled water, enough canned goods to last me a month, plus I have the portable Coleman stove I bought my brother as a birthday gift. Yep, even have propane for it. Only thing I don't have a ton of is batteries. I do have candles though.
Ciao ya'll.
