HURRICANE

We are expecting to have lots of fun in the next few days. Our local authorities
are ordering a mandatory evacuation for the southern part of Harris county, just about 25 miles from us. If the worst predictions come true, we will be subject to winds of 100 mph. The calamity howlers are really trying to scare us. The only thing that scares me is a power failure. How horrid it would be to sit in the dark with no TV, no computer, and even worse, no air conditioner. How will we eat all that raw food in our freezers ?
We are as ready as can be for the worst. Cars all gassed up, plenty of rum and bourbon, a few extra gas canisters for out baby Weber barbaquer. If I remember, I think I might put away things like garden chairs and garbage containers. They can really fly around in a strong wind. I don't want to replace any broken windows.

Golly-gee, you don't sound too worried at all. I'm glad for that. I think Ike sounds scary as all get out.

Fingers crossed for y'all.

Well yes, golly-gee. It seems that your worst fears came to be. Though I know you won't be reading this until your electricity is back on, I want you to know that we sympathize, though the longest spell we've had to deal with is about three, maybe four days.
