News Flash: Sky Falling!
Or, if you prefer, the end of the world is nigh!
So, yeah, there’s a hurricane of respectable size and intensity named Ike headed my general direction. As per usual, I will not run like a rat deserting a sinking ship, but will, instead, bravely blog my way through what will no doubt prove to be far less than the crazy weather people are predicting. Oh, I’m sure it won’t be “good” and we will probably lose power for a couple hours, maybe more, but I doubt that it will be as bad as the people who make their living scaring the public with tales of Mother Nature gone wrong are making it sound.
Long time readers will recall that I stayed when Rita was supposed to wipe the greater Houston area off the face of the Earth, too. And, I blogged then, too. Not much to report then, and I doubt there will be much to report this time, either. Oh, one important difference is that I have a good digital camera, so I’ll have pictures this time. In fact, I may just have a picture for every post this time around. Or not, as the mood strikes me.
In any case, if you’re in the area, be safe. Otherwise, I’ll do my best to keep everyone updated!
