Thanks.

We kept wondering what authority he had. Seems like a smart guy.

Yeah, you right. Judge Robert Eckels is a Republican and a Conservative to the bone while White, though he's not doing an altogether bad job, is a rat and used to work for Clinton.

It's called the County Commissioners *Court* that's why he's the County Judge.

I wouldn't touch New Orleans area oysters for a year at least. Due to the huge dose pollutants entering the bays. I'm sure there will be health reports on those oysters. Anyways I hear a lot of the oyster beds got torn up and destroyed during Katrina.

New Awlins food (many good photos)

Wow! That's quite the photo.

The first outflow boundaries have just reached my house. I'm still finishing up the last of the yard preparations, removing potential missiles, etc.

Gotta engineer a solution to prevent a raised sprinkler head from beating against my bedroom window. I live in a ghost town. No traffic unless you count helicopters and a few jets that seem to be on approach to Hobby airport.

Most of Cameron reads 0 feet elevation which either means zero or else below sea level with this software.

Thanks for any and all flooding reports.

"Somewhat off-topic, and maybe it's just me, but does Philippe look like he's trying to reform?"

Whoa! Just checked the computer models on Phillipe and three show a turn to the southeast! That high over Florida should keep it away but while all eyes are focused on Rita, Phillipe seems to be acting up a little.

Surge, storm tide, whatever you want to call it, showing up in New Orleans, 220 miles away, annd Galveston, 250 miles away?

Stephanie has been steadily moving back for the past several hours. She was right at the sea wall the last time.

Boy is left behind as his family evacuates
Conroe police find lost Pasadena 10-year-old inside convenience store

By RENEE C. LEE
Houston Chronicle


CONROE - Police are trying to locate the family of a 10-year-old Pasadena boy who was left behind at a convenience store Thursday afternoon as relatives continued their evacuation trek.


Conroe police spokesman Sgt. Bob Berry said the family was traveling in a five-car caravan from Pasadena headed to Dallas when they stopped in Conroe.

He said the family members went into the store as a group but apparently did not do a head count when they left and got back into their cars.

The boy told police he turned around and his family was gone.

Police picked up the boy about noon and took him to the police station.

''We're trying to make arrangements to find out who and where they are," Berry said. ''We're also trying to get CPS to step in to find a temporary home for him."

He said the boy gave police his mother's cell phone number but calls were forwarded to a voice mail

One of my passions is hunting dove and I watch them year round in anticipation of dove season. Yesterday I saw numerous dove flying erratically and swooping down in the path of traffic. I thought at the time that this unusual behavior was an awareness of the hurricane on their part. I am about 400 miles east of where Rita is expected to make landfall.
