The weather here has been great, high 70's during the day and high 50's at night, this really helps the people that are still without power. The latest report is 60% of Houston is still blacked out, including Colleen and Mark's place and half the area we live in. We were advised by the community office that the water treatment system does not have power therefore ( I am not making this up) they have asked us to minimize using water "If yellow let it mellow, if brown flush it down". Yuck. They are concerned about the sewage backing up into your house. I believe that the water is gravity fed into the plant and it is about 1.5 miles from our house (over near the Calonico's) so if Dave and Kathy show up here smelling foul it will be time for us to be concerned.
It takes about 1 to 1.5 hours to get gas and after standing in line for about 1 hour you can get into a grocery store only to find a stale smell, barren shelves and nothing, unless you got there at 5 in the morning, fresh. We are so lucky, "The Madge" has enough food here for a family of six to live till the end of the year and having electricity.
Life is slowly returning to normal.

Well, unless you're one of the 60% without power :)
Mom and Dad will be up here for a while, but I'm sure they'd be willing to share their toilets with y'all if needed.
Glad to hear you're okay. How was Sean's birthday party?
