Maybe Budweiser will take care of it. Instead of shipping little cans of water, they can save the trouble of retooling and just send the beer.

Give me a sec, I'll send 'em a memo to make sure they've got that right!

One can hope! My husband just got a phone call from the soccer league he coaches saying practice is canceled for tonight and there will be no game tomorrow. Ya think??

It is times like these that my wife and I question the wisdom of our move down here. Someplace like Utah is sounding pretty good right now.

Aside from the remote possibility of a tornado, we expect no more than 50 mph winds here with a few gusts a little higher. We will still probably lose power but no real danger to structures.

I'm in northwest Houston - around 290 and Barker Cypress. It's pleasant here, too. Thank goodness, since our air conditioning went out today. Guess I might as well get used to that, though.....

I work for an oil company also - ConocoPhillips.

Did not know that--more reason for heartbreak! "How can people be so heartless, how can they be so cruel."

Like I said--God does NOT like ugly, and robbing from disaster victims is DAMNED UGLY!

Ohh the update is in #2459... and I finally understand what you are referring to :) The quote about 3 breaches was from Nat'l Guard not Engineers. (I know nothing about the technicalities, so was under the same impression that a breach is a break, not just flowing over the top, which added to my confusion about what reporters were saying).

Off topic but there is a thread up now that DOD is allowing public testimony regarding Able Danger.

I think Rummy set the media up, by calling for closed hearings he triggered the attention of MSM. They thought they could nail the Bush Administration.

The story is now going to be covered by someone besides Fox News and talk radio.

Alicia was a Cat3 with a deadpan hit to the West beach of Galveston. If your son is in NW Houston, he should be fine.

The latest from NHC has Rita shifting slightly east, doesn't?

Couldn't really notice a change in projected track from the overnight graphics; it still looks to be between Port Arthur and Galveston.

I would LOVE THAT!

Especially if they used the FACTS by showing the amount of money, in the form of OUR TAX DOLLARS, that has flowed into LA and especially NO, to bolster up their leveee system. Money that has been DIVERTED, much of it simply DISAPPEARING into who knows what....

( perhaps a DNC slush fund? )

The President has said in his speech that the MONEY will be controlled because the TAX PAYERS expect that to happen.

I know I do.

Well, it's already downcut through the levee. Which means flooding will continue even after the surge abates.

Calypso Louie: "Whitey used the cover of Rita to bomb the levee again. He thinks he's clever, but we saw him from the mothership."
