Aww, Dickens on the Strand... I remember visiting Galveston back when the old Sea-A-Rama building stood in ruins. I loved camping at the state park with the beach on one side and the oil lights from Houston shining in the distance. Oh, and all the big, beautiful houses on the beach...

Just curious... anyone know about Snoopy's in Corpus Christi? I just wondered how that area fared as well.

Heading down to West Houston this weekend. As some of you may know, I am a volunteer member of Civil Air Patrol, the U.S. Air Force Auxiliary. We've been called up to fly disaster relief and damage assessment missions in the wake of Ike.

Good for you. I'm glad people are going in to help.

I left town for the storm. My power has been out since at least Sunday. I looked on Centerpoint's site, & my zip code isn't expected to have power until some time after Monday.

LOL. Got ice, thanks!

I am so HAPPY that Gaido's is there! I cannot wait until I can go there and have dinner!

And I'm thinking I will have to go to Dicken's on the Strand . . .
