Rita Update

Folks...thank you very much for your concern.
We will be completing the boarding up and will be in place by tomorrow. I will try to stay online off and on until the power goes out. As soon as the power returns, I'll send a message. We are out of the storm surge area and I'm only concerned about the wind...and the horses.
I understand this is a huge storm and we are taking every precaution. I will try to take some pics and post if and when I can.

Not so Lovely Rita Heading my Way

I live about 30 miles inland from the Texas Gulf Coast and the eye of the storm is projected to make landfall about 20 miles South. I plan to stay here because we have a lot of animals and we can't get them out.
I'm not concerned with flooding as much as I am with the wind and the tornadoes. My wife is in line at a hardware store now trying to get more wood for the windows.
I have two horses I'm very worried about since the barn is not strong enough to handle the winds. Everyone tells me to let them out and they will do fine in the open field. I'm no too sure about that.

Anyway, I will try to contiue updates at least until Friday when the full effects will be felt.

See you on the other side.

John Kerry, New Orleans Hero

This guy just seems to hang around like a recurring hemorrhoid doesn't he?

Kerry Requests Silver Star After Piloting Swift Boat Through New Orleans


WASHINGTON, DC --- John Kerry contacted the Pentagon today to request a Silver Star for a recent swift boat mission he ran through the streets of New Orleans. While the Pentagon claims the mission was unauthorized, Kerry claims it was a secret mission approved by the highest levels of the government.

"I clearly remember listening to the radio and hearing President Bush deny that swift boats were in New Orleans," said Kerry. "And there I was on a swift boat in New Orleans. Dodging bullets. Scanning the shore for enemy fire and mortar attack. The band aid on my hand covers a wound I received while moving too quickly on deck for a photo op and scraping against the railing."

Sean Penn tried to join Kerry on his own swift boat, but it sank before leaving dock. Penn forgot to put the plug in the bottom of the boat and refused to stuff his Communist flag in the hole to prevent flooding.
