Back. The trip back in wasn't nearly as bad as the one in. 11 1/2 hours to Austin, 3 1/2 (normal) back. Obviously, since I'm on the Internet, we have everything in place, no flooding, wind damage, or even power or water loss. It was no worse for us than a bitchin' thunderstorm. As for Port Arthur, Beaumont, and Cameron Parish, LA, they're very much on my mind. I don't have many friends out there, but my friends do.

Otherwise, we appear to be cat-sitting tonight, with a potential recruit for housecat. He's over on the coffee table in the corner, and he's rather entertaining. Already scoping the place out, wondering if it will be a fit.

Austin was great and all, but for all the worrying I did this weekend, I'm just glad to be back in Houston. I missed this dump. All that fresh air up there was clouding my mind, I needed my chemicals from the adjacent refineries. Thank them for no real spike in the gas prices. Just the shortages along... um, everywhere going back into town.

Let me know what you think. I'm just glad to be home.
