Well, if you do the laundry, it will only get dirty again. Then you'll have to wash it again. Since the laundry is already dirty, you can save time by leaving it dirty.
On the other hand, once you drink the beer, the job is complete and done with; and you can drink another beer again without wasting effort or feeling guilty.
I'd stay away from Santa Fe. Besides high prices for everything, the city sport is bashing/blaming Bush for everything. You do not want to be there. Try Cloudcroft or Ruidoso, NM.
Ive seen lake Arlington go over its spillway.
They were worried about the earthen dam at the time too.
With the ground so dry flooding could be a problem if Rita stalls. Its hard to get the water to soak into my tomato garden when its this dry.
Im not in the flood plain either but have often wondered what a deluge like 20" might do here.
Ive never seen over about 8" in 24 hrs.
If Burleson and Everman flood Arlington might go over the spillway. I wouldnt want to be in those new houses at 1-20 and loop 820 right on the village creek flood plain if Rita stalls.
I think it's just about a trend. I'd call it a wobble for now, but I think it's slowly moving north on its path.
NOLA is not in play.
You can't vote that water out of the city of New Orleans.

Station 42003 has failed. It will be restored to service when it can be worked into the schedule.
So long as you don't confuse the beer and the Clorox, you should survive. :)
Thanks. OK, that explains why you sound like you know what you're talking about.
Actually, not really...
From what I could tell from the sat loops, it's just a hair north of west, not enough to term it WNW. The last couple of images seem to show a bit more of a due-west jog.
That's what he said. Who did I post? I'm afraid to go back and look lol. I have a 3/4/5 y/o tornado already here under my desk.
Cell phones are not working in Houston. All circuits busy and not taking calls. It has already started and the storm is not even here yet.
What's your take on the McAllen/Pharr area? Is that far enough inland (and south) to be safe? (dh's grandmother is in a nursing home there -- she's in her nineties and I definitely worry about her)
Now that's the best justification yet for drinking beer.
Looks like "weegee" board to me.
Yeah, it was pretty bad. Probably wouldn't help by trying to explain that I new it was something really weird and was too lazy to look it up.
Did WCG pick her cautions yet?
No, the last prediction I saw was landfall a little Southwest of Galveston. That would make the Bolivar area further from the storm, but not much. And, I suspect, not nearly enough.
McAllen is near Brownsville right?
Given recent trends it appears that their chance of getting a direct hit are slim. The area is under a hurricane watch and that should be the operative word for preparations.
Oops. Nothing against Governor Perry but that's an ok , kind of typo :')
