Rain, Rain, Go Away
Rita is fast turning into a massive nuisance for us down here in Southeast Texas. For me particularly…between the past 48 hours of furiously studying research papers in anticipation of what was to be a project proposal presentation tomorrow morning, an incredibly hectic week at work, and everything else in between, it’s been particularly difficult to pay attention to this storm. But nature sometimes has a way of forcing us to pay attention, so I took an extended lunch break today and headed for H-E-B and Wal-Mart. Too little too late, all the water was gone, and the shelves were almost bereft of canned food, bread and disposable silverware. Grocery parking lots all over the city are jam-packed, and the freeways are a nightmare. I’m gonna have to find some side streets to take home this evening. Hopefully this web server will stay alive through the storm…but at Cat 5, as unruffled as I am about this storm, I’m not taking chances either. Backup all the data, pack important stuff and move north. I’ll be blogging from there for as long as I can remain online.
Meanwhile TI in Stafford hasn’t announced closure yet, and I wonder what they’re thinking. Surely they don’t expect anybody to show up for work tomorrow morning. I know I’m not going to.
