Well, I survived Hurricane Ike, so far.

Well, I'm starting to have power issues here in Jersey Village.

At 8:03pm, we had the first power blip.

It was little more than a blink, but it made the TV and the cable box bounce.  Though, it wasn't off long enough for the cable box to reset to the default, power-on channel.  And, it didn't reset the microwave or the coffee maker.  Still, it was enough to remind me that it got dark much too early and that Hurricane Ike is the reason.  He may be a blow-hard, but Ike's blowing hard in my direction!
No rain yet.

Okay, so if somehow you haven't been watching the news, or just don't care about Texas, there's a storm in the Gulf headed our way.

Okay, that title is kind of a lie.

Or, if you prefer, the end of the world is nigh!

Fiction writers may have thirty-six plots to choose from, but bloggers only have seven posts.

Saturday, I gave some time to Habitat for Humanity.

I go to church every Saturday night, with few exceptions. Well, this Saturday a group of us from Mercy Street, where I go to church, went over and donated some time to work on a house for a deserving family. I have to admit, I was surprised to find out some of the requirements to qualify and some of the details about how Habitat for Humanity is run.

Make yourself a safe room.
