    I'm so old I can remember when Hwy 6 was a two lane blacktop, no shoulders.  Sometimes, I still miss Houston, very vibrant City. I spend most my time now, when I go, in the Woodlands.
I used to hunt rabbits near 59 south and 6.
There was nothing there, except prison farm nearby.

After Rita my lower extremeties looked like measles after all the Fire Ant Bites.  Post storm, they apparently have homing devices toward anything dry.    Brutal....

You gotta watch for them in flood waters.  We saw floating balls of them during last years flood.  Hate to thing of the mass hitting me and all climbing up at once.

I heard a Montgomery County press conference (my townhouse is there), tell people to have three to five days of food, fill their cars with gas, and expect power outages and flooding in low lying areas.  Some churches have already lined up to to take those who have to leave their homes.

Gas Stations in our area, mid Brazos County, are running out of gas, at least regular and midgrade already.

So is my wife.  They moved into Quail Valley 1972 in Missouri City.  It was 12 miles to the nearest grocery store then.

That's not far from Sugarland.  Lots of good places to eat at that junction.

Y'all do realize that no matter how bad this turns out to be (and I pray it's only a tiny fraction of what's predicted), it won't get anywhere near the attention of Sandy or any other disaster that might occur on the East Coast or even the West Coast. This is only Texas, and a red state at that. None of the elite media sources are that interested in investing a bunch of money to cover tragedies that happen in flyover country. If someone told them they could probably locate some illegal aliens victimized by the storm, they'd probably high-tail it down here and fan out to find them.

That's awfully nice. Wonder who coordinated that.

Our area schools have decided several hours ago not to have school tomorrow and likely not Monday.

Stay safe please. You all are in my thoughts and prayers.

   Hoity Toit is one of my favorite beer joints here in New Braunfels @Wingnut  I knew the meaning of that one, 3 years in nawlins and I learned this one too: lagniappe (French for bonus), great bar downtown, away from the maddening crowd of Bourbon St.

   Monday was the first day of school for NBISD.  This town has been caught with it's pants down so many times to flood waters, I'm sure River Road (Guadalupe River) is being evacuated though it hasn't been announced yet.

Still in the 10-15 inch range here too.  Benchmark for my present area was 24 inches back in 1994.  Was fine with that rain, so so good so far.
