Call me crazy, but I still swear I can taste the salt on my lips when the remnants of a hurricane make it up here to the heartland.

TXCN showing footage of Dallas County school buses evacuating people from Houston.

So, not only do we use the buses that are there, we bring in other buses to haul people away.

I will be very surprised if Rita finds any functioning buses in her strike zone.

Am so sorry about your experience in Salem. You should have come down further south. Here in our town just north of Medford, our little church raised over $1,700 in a two-day rummage sale normally held to raise money for missions. This year it was decided to donate the funds to Katrina victims. On top of that, the congregation itself donated over $900 to Katrina victims.

And ours is a small church full of mostly retired people without big bank accounts. And--they are all mostly Conservatives!

[Spktyr]

Yes, but it doesn't take effect until Rita touches land or her bands start trashing things.

[Brad’s Gramma]

Nite my friend. Sleep well.

You're a good sport. :)

[Fiddlstix]

That's an idea.......
Thanks........

"As of the first, Texans can carry loaded weapons in our vehicles...no need to get permits anymore. That'll make would be thugs think twice! "

I personally don't think that that law made much difference. Folks I know that wanted a gun in their car had one anyway. Just alligned the state law with a God given right.

[Lemondropkid31]

Haha yea, I saw that. I think I was the one who wrote that actually.

I'm trying to think of the name of the greasy spoon just outside the Presidio gate from my barracks. One of the Army troops in the class behind me married a waitress there. He was killed at Fire Base Carroll in 72.

"I believe its "Dangyankees" (one word) and the ng is "mn"."

No, no. She's a dangyankee. She doesn't live in Texas. If she moved here then she'd be a damnyankee.

"Call me crazy, but I still swear I can taste the salt on my lips when the remnants of a hurricane make it up here to the heartland."

I have heard of that happening. It's like a game that the mind plays when something drastic happens to you, then you feel like you can feel it later on so to speak.
