Buh-bye Rita

Well, although it appears I will be seeing Rita, she will not be a guest-of-honor. She took a turn and will now be hitting land (probably) around Lake Charles, which puts Houston on the slightly safer west side of the eye. So we'll still get it, but not as bad. Oh, and Evacuee Man and his family had to return to Houston. After 6 hours of being in the car, they had barely gone 60 miles outside of Houston. So they're here, after my frantic calling of hotel rooms. Their room, however, could only be booked for one night so they might be staying here with me tomorrow night.
