What a long, strange trip it's been

I'm back - power was just restored. We here in the west of Houston missed the worst of it. Power went out at 3, the back fence blew out at 5:20. Phone service has been hit or miss. We have lots of downed trees in the neighborhood, but other than that - no worries.

It is MUCH worse for those on the dirty side of the storm. Those low-lying areas who were hit by the storm surge are under water - and there are various reports going around about fatalities.

Hope everyone else here in southeast Texas is doing well. James Coney Island opened this afternoon, so we actually even got warm food before the power came back!
