Looks like everybody in Houston is closing up shop for hurricane Ike. I've got to leave work at 1 (it's 11:30 now). Fortunately, they're leaving the servers and my pc on until Friday afternoon so I can get some work done from home.

I just talked to ShaneMan and he took his wife and daughter back home to Dallas last week, so no worries there.

So, if you don't hear from me for a while, you'll know where I am. I know you'll miss my witty remarks (LOL).
 
By the way things are so far, I'm not sure we're closing up at all tomorrow and certainly not today. Lots of family from near the coast is movin up into my house and my grandparents' vacation home. Nice and cramped.

I wanna go home!:(

...so sleepy zZzZzZz

Hope you're all safe - Send a field report if you have to bugg out and can get to the net - :)
 
Stay safe and well and remember to get back in time to vote for Obama

Looks like it's a good thing, George! Good luck and everything! :)
 
Ike was a good General but a crap President

We will definitely miss your (not so) witty remarks, come back soon. :p
 
My stepson's flying out to Florida tomorrow to get married, I told him the place was too bloody dangerous, would he listen, NO. Now look ,everybody's leaving the place, still I guess he won't have to pass through the welcoming committee

I told him the Canadian Rockies would be a far safer bet, but then he didn't take my advice on getting married either:mad::p

Tell him to come on to Texas, we'll take care of him. Brian and Ms. Hazel stayed safe while they were here.:)

I'm sure you would, oddly enough I was invited to the wedding, I could have taken a few hours out and pop around to visit one or two of you:)

That would have been cool. We had the opportunity to have supper with Brian and Ms. Hazel, when they were here, and had a really good time. I thought is was really neat to have correspondence with someone, for years, over the internet and then get to meet them in person. I only wish we could have hung out for a couple days.
 
One day I'll have enough money to take a luxury cruise and pop over, whether I'll be allowed to get off the boat of course is a different matter

We'll try not to tell the authorities you're coming so there will be no one at the docks to pick you up. ;)

Good luck George. Hope your home and property stay safe down there. They're forecasting rain for us all weekend because we'll probably be getting the fallout from Ike. Of course, by the time hurricanes reach us up here they are back down usually to tropical depressions or lower, which means we just have an extended thunderstorm with occasional strong wind gusts. Tornadoes associated with it are what we have to look out for too with the hurricane pushing from one side and other weather patterns pushing from other sides.
