Harvey

San Antonio is preparing to take evacuees from the coast and there are long lines at the grocery store.  So far, it's only cloudy and cool, not much rain.

Saturday and Sunday are predicted to be the days of heavy rain.  Thanks to all of you from far away who are calling and emailing and checking on us.  For the sake of Will and his firefighters, I'm just hoping no one tries (as they do every rainfall) to cross a low-water crossing.  Water rescues are particularly hazardous for the firefighters.

As for the rest of us, we're just stocking up on essentials and hoping it won't rival the flood of 1998.  The grocery store lines are long, the gas lines are long--and just in case the electricity goes out, I'm using up stuff in my freezer and making spaghetti and turkey sauce for me and some for Edward to take home.

Betty, remember 1998?  You were here when we got flooded in with plumbing problems the week of my 50th birthday!  Come back!
