Hari Seldon , I am sure polgara is ok. She is far from any impact of the storm. As am I, now that I have moved. Not a drop here. Looks like my house in Central Texas is getting a large amount of rain though. And the lawn maintenance people were supposed to do the yard this weekend, to get it ready to photograph and put on the market. Another week delay in getting it listed. Frustrating. I am ready to sell it!

True story: about a decade ago, I had a girlfriend online that lived in Michigan (rural town, in the 'thumb' of Michigan). She came to visit me, and flew into San Antonio. I picked her up at the airport, and took her up to the top of the Tower of the Americas, from where you can see the entire city. First words out of her mouth were "Wow! Everything IS bigger in Texas"   That is a rotating 2 story restaurant on top, with an observation deck above that. You can sit at a window table and get an entire view of the city. It rotates 360 degrees once an hour. 579' tall. This is one thread where I don't worry about getting too far off track. Yes, things are bigger in the Texas cities than they are in rural Michigan, but I can only imagine how your girl would have reacted to the 95th in Chicago at over 1000' in the air. And for more important things, polgara should be plenty far enough inland to be mostly unaffected by Harvey so far, but it's still a worry that she hasn't logged on since Harvey hit land. I hope everything is ok for her. Thanks for being concerned. we got some rain, but nothing too bad. I haven't been here much because school started and I've been either busy or exhausted. I'm hoping to get used to the schedule again soon. By the way, I would never go after you with my pointy toed boots. They wore out, and I haven't replaced them.  |
