Checking in (Ike)

We returned home today. Traffic flowed smoothly and Cinder and Rosie
were fine. Corpus Christi got lucky. High tides, but no floods, no
real wind, not much rain.

Weather in San Antonio was great. Evacuees kept arriving, first ahead
of the hurricane, and now after because the area hit does not have
electricity. The motels filled up, and some people had to go to the
shelters. The problem now is that people can't return because there
is no electricity and, we heard, no gasoline in the areas hit. Also,
gasoline prices jumped overnight. I think the hardest thing now is
that people can't get back to see what damage may have been done and
what they can salvage.

We'll see how long it takes to turn the power on and clean up the
debris. These people need whatever purrs, prayers, good vibrations we
can offer. If our house was finished, I would have invited somebody
to stay with us.

Jim has an appointment with the doctor on Wednesday to see how he is
doing.

Annie, I'm glad you guys got out even if it wasn't necessary. You just never
know. Aren't you glad you don't still live in Galveston? Any idea of the
condition of your old house there?

Purrs continue for Jim for tomorrow.

Hi Cheryl,
Thanks for your good wishes. I never lived in Galveston, but have
enjoyed visits there. I hope the people will be able to return to
their homes and begin the recovery effort soon.

Sorry if this is a repeat response. I didn't see the first try get
through.

Thank you for your kind thoughts. I have never lived in Galveston,
but have enjoyed visiting there. I hope everyone affected by this
terrible storm will be soon able to return to begin their recovery.
