Rita (and we're not talking Marga...)

The thought of a copycat Katrina is making Houstonians nutty. I don't blame them for worrying, though, because Rita is supposed to be a category 4 hurricane like Katrina was, and Katrina obviously had devastating results. Allow me to set the stage: Gas has sold out at all the stations near my house, and I'm conveniently at 1/8th of a tank.

aww thanks! I'm sure it would be a blast to stay with you guys. Note: we prefer to be called "refugees." It sounds slightly political. hehe. Just kidding. I'll hopefully be up to Austin before Hoon & Sarah leave for NC for good, so we can catch up then! Take care of Julie & crew. :)

Whoops! I was trying to conserve my cell's battery for the trip, so I turned it off this afternoon. Tomorrow we're headed to someplace near Dallas. I'm not sure where, but I hope my dad does. :p Are your parents leaving? Take care!
