Winters Are Like Leap Years
I had to leave the house a couple of hours ago to visit the next burg about 20 minutes from here (usually, at least). When I left, I knew I was in for potential trouble. See, this is south Texas, and people here are completely ignorant of how to drive ...

Life Goes On, In Spite of Preferences
I've been really depressed off and on lately, though I'm not really sure if it's chemical or issue-based. The sort of acute heartache I feel now would usually indicate that Meridjet is stimulating my subconscious with regard to work needing to be done. However, he's been relatively inactive for the ...

An Open Letter to All Concerned
I'm crossposting this to relevant places (and email) to reduce my catch-up time. I bet some of you are wondering where I disappeared to for so long. I live on Trinity Bay just east of Houston, about a mile from the mouth of the Houston Ship Channel. Hurricane Ike forced ...

I've been trying to avoid leaving, but now we are under mandatory evacuation starting at noon. I've had two fitful hours of sleep and have nothing done, so we have to get a lot of stuff outside put somewhere safe, and then pack up and leave. The cats will be ...

Still Going: The Energizer Sheta

We’re Still Here
Thanks to all the well-wishers. The storm hit this morning, and we ended up with well over 4 inches of rain. The water did come into the apartment, but that isn't something that bothers me much anymore as if left alone, it takes care of itself and all I have ...

There’s A Storm Comin’ and We’d All Best Be Ready When She Does
The tropical storm known as Edouard (that's not a typo) is hovering off the coast of Texas/Louisiana in the Gulf of Mexico and is due to hit here tomorrow. And when I say, "here," I do mean here. Observe: That star is the location of my house. Though Edouard (I guess ...
