Here it is, September 11th 2008.  Seven years since the terror attacks, and I couldn't be less concerned about it. 

 

All my focus today is avoiding Hurricane Ike.  Bastard.  Taunting everyone from LA down to Mexico.  I evacuated Galveston Island shortly before the City said it was "manditory."  I'm all the way in Texas City...woop-dee-freakin'-doo! 

 

I know now how families die together.  My sister is listening to a few sources...1) her boyfriend, who seems to be staying - cause that's what idiots do.  2) the City of Texas City, whose daily messages advise to shelter in place, cause we have an earthen levee that should protect us.

The same levee that they built after Hurricane Carla which hit 40+ years ago...also on/near September 11th...that flooded the city.

 

Then there is "common sense" which says "RUN!!!" 

 

Call me lame, or a Doomsday-er, but running was what I had planned.  Now, we're stuck, because everyone in Galveston is trying to get out causing TRAFFIC.

Houston/Harris County just announced that they still weren't opening Contra-flow...and probably not until after evening rush hour.  Yeah!

 

So, I'll be here, online until a) the power goes out or b) the 100mph winds pick me up for the ride of a lifetime!!

 

If this is my last message to the world, I love you world.  Live Long and Prosper!!  :)
