I'd envisioned a race between my Barracuda being delivered to my home...while I still had a home.  Well, Ike is fast approaching and the mail lady just left without delivering my watch.  Ike won.  Rats!  The USPS will be taking the day off tomorrow because of the storm.  Argggh!

We'll do our best Skip but, this storm is so big, it's hard to get far enough away by car.  My daughter has real style.  She flew to NYC to see a Yankees game today, on of the last games to be held in Yankee Stadium, and a Mets game tomorrow.  One of my clients left Houston to go on a cruise.

You were right the first time Shady.  My kid are grown and on their own.  My watches are all divers, except for one and they reside in Pelican vases.  I've strapped the Pelican cases to my waist so they'll help keep me afloat.

We live in a Northwest Houston suburban area.  Some Houston zip codes had mandatory evacuation, but we were told to stay put and hunker down.  I just returned from a walk around the hood and saw many homes were boarded up.  I wish I had done that but didn't.

I news media always seems to make mountains of mole hills and scare everyone half to death.  I hope they're over reacting this time too.

Hang in there Will.

My best to you and your family and friends.  I agree with your media comment.  Let's all hope it's not a big as they make it out to be.

Hey thanks guys.  I'm sure we'll be fine.  May be just incovenient for a time if we lose electric and water.  I do have a supply of Miller Lite in though...just in case.
