Oh, great. Here we go again. Bake a cake, Gustav is coming.

As I write this, we're in the middle of another weather problem. Remember Katrina and Rita? Yep, I lived in Houston when they showed up and lived through the aftermath and the thousands of refugees. Did we dodge a bullet? Oh, yeah. Here is a photo of the "damage" that amounted to nothing more than all of the magnolia trees being stripped of some of their foliage.

The aftermath was that instead of one groundskeeper with a leaf blower, we had three and most of the "debris" ended up on top of our cars. It's now nearly midnight Saturday and here is the 411. The hurricane is expected to make landfall (queue the sound effect of dice rolling) between High Island, Texas and Florida late Monday or early Tuesday. At this point we can only hope we're on the western side of this mess since that will be the relatively quiet side as was the case during Katrina and Rita. I'll keep this updated as time permits.
