Did you hear that remarkable statement? Ships are following behind Rita with food and medical supplies. BOY, we're ROLLING now!!
Whew, he was lucky. At 7 AM this morning, we called friends from UTMB in Galveston. Had offered them a bed but they finally found one in San Antonio. They'd left home in the middle of the night and said it had taken them 4 hours to get from the south side of Houston to the Galleria. Also, called family in Conroe who are hunkering down to tell them Mr. M took the week off in case they needed help. They said not to come because there's no gas. Others in Shiner said gas and grocery were already shut down.
Mr. M said the prison was already evacuating inmates from Sugarland. All 800 inmates from Galveston area (UTMB and Ramsey Unit) were already being housed in at Hughes Unit in Gatesville (near Ft. Hood). 200 inmates in each gym - any bets on riots soon?
When we lived in Nevada...Boulder City....we always had water and an empty ice chest to get frozen food home from the store without it thawing.....
Prices confirmed by CTV news.

I just sent that a**hat an email for that crap yesterday...
Let me tell him what his momma looks like this time.
you are right.
In the winter, woodstoves are the way to go for cooking, if you get a model you can set a cast-iron dutch oven on...
in the summer, charcoal OUTSIDE only, or camp stove DITTO.
And always have aCO detector in your house, no matter what.
What goes out has to come back in.
Things are getting nasty on the highway, source by FOX! Folk are taking the opposite driving lanes into their own hands. Yikes!
Did he really say that?
I like that even more.
SUV, good car to drive after a ......

1) It is an open flame. If you or your kids are not used to that, it could be a new danger. 2) The stove will put off carbon monioxide, which is deadly in a non-ventilated room. I would recommend cooking on your (open air) porch or patio, or make sure you have a window open inside.
I had a friend in Houston at the time, he told me about it.
The rest of Texas took one collective look at the situation, said "Holy F***!!!!!" and started the upgrades if they hadn't already. The state construction codes have also been amended.
Texans can make some enormous blunders, starting with Col. Fannin, but we usually don't make the same mistake twice, and we try to learn from others' experience.
Is it the mustard chicken salad or the mayonaisse chicken salad?
