Lions . . .and tigers . . .where's the bear?
I'm thinking we may need to revisit the issue of exotic pets. Is there state legislation? I know there was discussion of it at one time, but then I moved away for 4 years, plus who thinks about this unless there is a tiger roaming around Galveston island? 
Southeast Texas is a weird combination of the normal and the bizarre right now. I find myself able to forget about Ike for a minute or two, then something - a missing fence, store running on a generator, lines at the gas station - reminds me.
First alumnae meeting was cancelled. This is getting serious!

This appears to be a pretty rare event:
Kyle, a Category 1 hurricane, is forecast to make landfall late Sunday or early Monday near the border between Maine and Canada.

Nope, it wasn't that big of an event. It missed Maine for the most part and gave Nova Scotia a pounding, but it was a weak Cat 1. I think they just said that people who may need medical assistance should leave (like maybe those on oxygen?)

Well that's good to know.
Is it just me, or did there seem to be a lot more hurricanes this year and stronger ones?

As Bonnie is approaching the Gulf, I'm wondering: Houston/Galveston people, has Galveston pretty much come back? I'm guessing that Crystal Beach is still a level prairie.

Galveston is back - somewhat. Losing the trees and oleanders has totally changed the look of the island. Some obvious gaps amongst homes - I haven't seen Crystal Beach myself, but reports I've heard seem indicate that while there is some rebuilding, lots of other owners have either the Flagship Hotel is still an enormous eyesore, but there's talk of it being developed into a pleasure pier. The Balinese is totally gone - the spot is marked by a plaque. Shriner's Hospital will be reopened  (hooray!), and The Strand looks pretty much the same as it did before.
