Thursday, April 3rd, 2008A lot of people love to bash big box retailers in general and Wal-Mart in particular for being too-powerful, uncaring, corporate dictators who revel in doing as little good as possible and sqashing everyone in their path in their quest for world domination and incalculable profits.
I don’t want to turn this into a [...]
We Were Hit By a Hurricane!
Thursday, September 13th, 2007It was a small hurricane (category 1), but a hurricane nonetheless.
It was a tropical storm last night when I went to bed but it strengthened to a hurricane before it made landfall. They say 75,000 or more homes are without power (our house is fine so far).
Ah the joys of living 40 miles from [...]

Rita Update
Saturday, October 1st, 2005We went to check out our house yesterday. Although our house didn’t sustain any real damage, several of our neighbors did. I took some pictures and will be posting them in a little while. It is really sad to see just how many trees we lost. Our biggest tree in the [...]
More on Rita
Sunday, September 25th, 2005I didn’t realize that Micheal Taylor of TaylorTree and I are practically neighbors. Small world. Anyway, he has a really good post with pictures on Rita.
Whew!
Saturday, September 24th, 2005FIRST OFF, I want to thank EVERYONE for their kind words and prayers. It was very moving to see the outpouring of concern for me and my family and all the other people in Rita’s path.
Here’s a short recollection of what we have been up to the last couple of days:

Hurricane Update
Thursday, September 22nd, 2005I have this ominous feeling that we are about to lose EVERYTHING! Well, not everything, but at least our house and everything else that we can’t pack up. This is some serious stuff (I really want to cuss right now but don’t want to offend my readers). Rita has taken a major [...]
