This is assuming that he can come up with the money by October 5th, which he should be able to swing. So long everyone! I believe that next month is my 10 year anniversary here, it's been fun most of the time. Later, Pat |

Lurk mode is now on unless the topic gets too juicy. ;-) If I find myself living in a city where driving is enjoyable again, I might consider another Miata. In a place with traffic as bad or worse than Austin, (all large American cities that I have visited), a "point A to point B" car that I don't care about and that is likely to keep me safer from the millions of Texan redneck pickup truck drivers now makes more sense to me than a small 2-seater. The idea of not owning a car at all for a year or two is also having an increasingly interesting appeal to me. Pat |

Luckily it was to pick up my then-boss's purse that she lost and the purse was dropped off there, not a mandatory trip wearing those pretty steel bracelets. :-) That was a fun day, I was only about 22 at the time and she let me drive her almost-new Mercedes which drove quite nicely compared to my crappy 1987 Maxima. (bad, bad year for the Maxima). Lots and lots of property damage to Galveston, not sure about Spring. It will be a while before they have a death and injury count, but so far things look like they could have been a lot worse. Haven't heard from Chris D. since Friday, there is a chance that he is one of the many people in Houston who is still without power. Pat |

We did ok thru the storm here in the land of Sugar, as my son calls it.
Power went off in the early stages of the storm and was off for us about 24 hours. Phone/internet/satellite were off a couple days past that but have been good the last couple days (flashed off a couple times this evening though). Still very limited power at my work but working by sunlight and laptop battery! We've been HUGELY blessed with unseasonably cool weather since the storm but that seems to be going away gradually. As for Spring, they got it pretty good but I would think there would be a pretty good chance they are powered up by now or real soon. Crews are working their way north (and all directions, I suppose) out from town. They say Conroe may be another week or two. Lots still w/o power. Driving is quite an adventure on the surface streets as MANY people have NO idea how to treat an intersection as a 4-way stop! Lots of traffic lights still down / off.

Ike went on north and did damage all along his path all the way to Chicago! My son, in Morrow, Ohio, still may be w/o power or, worse yet, cable TV! Hundreds of trees are down... From Sunday's paper: Hurricane remnants blamed for at least 13 deaths in Midwest Sept. 14, 2008 11:55 PM MUNSTER, Ind. - The remnants of Hurricane Ike swept into the Midwest Sunday with powerful winds and flooding that were being blamed for at least 13 deaths. Thousands have been evacuated and more than a million homes and businesses lost electrical power. Cook County in Illinois was placed under a state of emergency as thigh- high water prompted dozens of boat rescues in Chicago. The death toll from Ike rose to 28 people in eight states extending from the hurricane-pounded Gulf Coast to the storm-battered Midwest. Four people died in floodwaters and high winds in Indiana. A teacher and his father were sucked into a culvert and drowned Sunday morning while trying to rescue a 10-year-old boy from a flooded ditch in Chesterton in northwest Indiana, the state Department of Natural Resources said. Falling trees were blamed for two deaths in southern Indiana. Three people died in Missouri, including a 21-year-old woman who was likely swept away by rising floodwaters while trying to help another man, authorities said. Two died in the St. Louis area - a woman struck by a tree limb and an elderly man found dead in a residence's flooded backyard. Authorities suspect the man drowned. In Tennessee, two men sitting in a golf cart on the 16th hole of a Nashville golf course were killed when a tree fell over on them Sunday morning, fire department spokesman Ricky Taylor said. +++++ the following is where my kid lives+++++++++ Strong winds were blamed for three deaths in Ohio. Two motorcyclists were killed Sunday when a tree toppled onto them at a state park in southwest Ohio, said state Department of Natural Resources spokesman Jason Fallon. and a woman wan killed when a tree crashed into her home in Hamilton County, just north of Cincinnati. One death was reported in Arkansas, where a 29-year-old man was killed when a tree fell on a mobile home as he was preparing to leave, authorities said. The remnants of Ike dumped as much as 6 to 8 inches of rain in parts of Indiana, Illinois and Missouri, spawned a tornado Arkansas that damaged several buildings, and delivered hurricane-force winds to Ohio, forcing Cincinnati's main airport to temporarily shut down. Flooding in Missouri closed the street in front of St. Louis' famed Gateway Arch. About 40 Indiana National Guard troops were activated Sunday afternoon to assist with the evacuation of up to 5,000 residents and to help safeguard property in the northwest town of Munster, Staff Sgt. Jeff Lowry said in a news release. Power outages darkened more than a million homes and businesses in Ohio and Kentucky. More than 680,000 Duke Energy customers were without power Sunday night in southwest Ohio and northern Kentucky in the biggest outage in the company's history, said Duke Energy spokeswoman Kathy Meinke. "It's going to be quite extensive," Meinke said. "Over 90 percent of our customers are without service." More than 354,000 customers were without power in central Ohio, said American Electric Power spokesman Jeff Rennie. About 310,000 Ohio Edison customers were in the dark in northeast Ohio, said spokeswoman Robin Patton. In Chicago, Saturday's rainfall of 6.64 inches at O'Hare International Airport set a record for a single day. The previous record was 6.49 inches, recorded on Aug. 14, 1987. Cook County Board President Todd Stroger declared a countywide state of emergency Sunday, and officials said they would ask Gov. Rod Blagojevich to issue a disaster declaration for Chicago and Cook County. In Missouri, winds as high as 60 mph and torrential rains of up to 7 inches raised new concerns about swelling rivers. Major flooding was expected along the Mississippi from Ste. Genevieve to Cape Girardeau by late this week, the National Weather Service said. Strong winds prompted the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport to evacuate its control tower and cancel about 40 flights before resuming air traffic, airport spokesman Ted Bushelman said. Strong gusts ripped off part of the roof from a Delta Airlines hangar and damaged another airport building, Bushelman said. He said winds were up to 74 mph. In Middletown, Ohio, gusts knocked down a tree, which landed on a nearby house and suspended a truck about 8 feet in the air, resident Barbara Ray said. Warren County emergency officials said their 911 center was shut down, likely due to wind damage. -- XS11E, Killing all posts from Google Groups The Usenet Improvement Project: http://improve-usenet.org |
