Exhaustion...

Dear Teachers,

Owing to Hurricane Ike, we cancel all the classes of 9/13(Sat).

Have a good weekend!

Boss Man

Well. Imagine that.

I am just about done in, but we're just about done. We've got some help and some borrowed garage space for some of the backyard furniture. Still have to get some odds and ends and some bigger sticks put away in the garage. (I saved the larger branch pieces from the butchery of my poor Ash tree...I have plans for them)

I tiiiiiieeeeerrrrdddd.

We're getting some wind so far, no rain.. but at one point when I was outside about 10 or so, my ears popped and popped and popped.

Some how, I don't think that's a good sign.

Oh, go HERE to see some of the projected damage costs.

Ike is a bad, bad, bad critter.

I'm watching TV and there are actually some IDIOTS who did not evacuate Galveston Island. Folks.. they're saying the whole island will be UNDER WATER.... Several Feet Under Water. There are some people, including the reporters... (yikes, not a job I'd want) who will be riding out the storm in one of the strongest structures on the island. They've had to call the Coast Guard to get some people who were waiting on their roofs because... yep... STORM SURGE. There have been 150 calls for help. That's 150 people and families who made a stupid decision, and now they are putting others at risk so they can be saved. GRrrrrrrr.

The one good thing... the calls to the TV stations from some of those people calling for help (not on roof yet), do admit that they were stupid.

Now, some of them just mistimed their evacuations. But still...sigh.
