» Didn’t Hurricane Season Start 19 Days Ago?
Yep. Sure did. Nice and quiet so far, but if Al Gore doesn’t stop talking about it, bad things may happen.

Texas is supposed to have hell and damnation (in the form of weather) tomorrow morning, but that’s if you believe the fear-mongering news media. Basically, it’s a tropical storm that “might” be a little hurricane by 8am. Most of the sane, practical people are tired of the media (and the gas stations) attempting to scare us into fleeing to Dallas over a few raindrops. Grrr… For the thrill of the Hurricane Rita evacuation in September (my birthday, no less) 2005, if the idiots in Houston proper and Conroe above them had NOT “evacuated”, those of us who live three blocks from the coast wouldn’t have been stuck in 0 mph traffic for two days. I had my first and only nervous breakdown on the second day, and we lost two cats. Other people lost horses (imagine trying to get your beloved dead horse out of a horse trailer in one piece), and some lost human family members. By the time the Powers That Be actually opened the contraflow, it didn’t help a bit. It was “Beyond the Thunderdome” meets the Apocalypse, and frankly, I was wondering if zombies were next. The truck stop we camped in the parking lot of on the first night was running out of food, and every other place was boarded up; oh, and NO ONE had gas to sell, and the fuel trucks they were going to have along the route did not materialize. Now, having learned that the cure can kill you too, we’re sitting tight until they tell us a catagory 4 is aimed at our doorstep. And if I meet anyone from Conroe who will admit to me that they evacuated from Rita, I may punch them.
Okay, I’m done ranting. The news is making me rabid. LOL.
