Company is here, Colleen and Mark arrived yesterday to ride out the hurricane, a good move, Mark decided to bring out their fifteen plus year old cat, bad move. An otherwise docile 107 pound Cooper went hyper. "The Madge" rescued Cooper from a KILL CENTER in Arkansas because he couldn't pass his training as a hunter, so rather than keep these dogs around they kill them. If you have met him you would understand why he failed his training, he would smother you with kisses and needs constant attention. When we lived in Conn he had a couple of acres to roam and every now and then he would kill an animal and bring it to us. Here comes Mark with the cat and Cooper starts licking his chops. The cat will remain in the bedroom.
Anyway the latest is Ike will make landfall early tomorrow morning, this refers to the "Eye", flooding has already begun in Galveston and surrounding areas. Words the weather people have used when they talk about this storm; massive, catastrophic, extremely dangerous, killer storm, gigantic, devastating, on and on. They anticipate a storm surge in excess of 24 feet, Houston's elevation is about 40 feet and is about 40 miles from the Gulf. You look at map and figure it out, not pretty! It's 9 AM and the winds are starting, this is with the storm over 275 miles away.
Oh Well
