Hey, I'm back after power was out for a week.

That's great, G.

Thanks for asking about our
welfare here

I never doubted for a minute that you'd survive. How bad was it??

It was pretty bad, power is still out for 1 million subscribers. There are at
least 7 confirmed deaths in the Galveston area (about 70 miles from me). I
was lucky with no structural damage, but there are trees in some of my
neighbor's homes. It was pretty scary, 70 MPH winds sustained for 5 hours is
just downright spooky - the sounds and sights seem unreal.

snow storm...

I'd heard that several thousand people didn't bother to heed the
evacuation advice from the Governor's office. When someone tells you to
"get out or die", I'd "get out". If someone decided to loot my house
(as I'm sure some people feared would happen) while my neighbours and I
evacuated, I'd feel bad, but at least I'd be alive to "feel". You can
always replace "stuff".

Glad you made it through though.

Thanks, now are you going to buy a t-shirt?

I grew up in the Northeast, I know all about blizzards. Why do you think I
live in Texas!

Ummmmm ....... it only seems logical to ask

Because you like hurricanes better?

The odds are better. Living up north it's guaranteed to snow every year. Here
we just get total destruction every 10 years or so.

I hate snow.

uuuuhhh ..... so you'd rather total destruction than a few inches of
snow .....

You're just as bad as the people who choose to live in California.
Rather than four seasons, they're willing to trade it for rather
neutral weather between the earthquakes, fires, drought, mud, and
floods.

Sam Kinison the comedian used to do a bit about the people starving in
Biafra. He said he'd get up a collection to hire a 747 and he'd fly
over to Biafra. When the plane landed, he would go and open the door
and scream
( as only he could do)

MOVE SOMEPLACE ELSE!

Then he'd fly home again.

To anyone who complains about where they live .....my sentiments,
exactly.

I am confused about the T-Shirt. She has one (no surprise) or she is one?
If it is the latter then the lipstick application part must be really dicey
and shaving truly nerve-racking.

All I can say is she'd better take up Heffner on his offer. See my sig. Is
that embarrassing or what? Reminds me of the famous dumb-ass Ms. America
contestant.

Incoherent rant by the next V-POTUS?

COURIC: Why isn't it better, Governor Palin, to spend $700 billion helping middle-class families who are struggling with health care, housing, gas and groceries; allow them to spend more and put more money into the economy instead of helping these big financial institutions that played a role in creating this mess?

PALIN: That's why I say I, like every American I'm speaking with, were ill about this position that we have been put in where it is the taxpayers looking to bail out. But ultimately, what the bailout does is help those who are concerned about the health-care reform that is needed to help shore up our economy, helping the—it's got to be all about job creation, too, shoring up our economy and putting it back on the right track. So health-care reform and reducing taxes and reining in spending has got to accompany tax reductions and tax relief for Americans. And trade, we've got to see trade as opportunity, not as a competitive, scary thing. But one in five jobs being created in the trade sector today, we've got to look at that as more opportunity. All those things under the umbrella of job creation. This bailout is a part of that.
