DON'T MESS WITH TEXAS

Rita is getting the message: "Don't Mess with Texas"

The storm is edging more and more for the Louisiana coastline.

This is bad on many levels:

• I don't want to work any more than I am already working - my resume tape is already good enough post Katrina
• The LSU game might get cancelled
• And the most important reason - the hurricane will likely cancel my move
  

We have to be out of the house by Wednesday and if the movers cancel Saturday, I will have to find a mover for Monday or Tuesday.

Sounds simple, but because of all the post-Katrina moving - everything is booked solid and there isn't even a U-Haul truck available. Should be interesting, especially since we are "moving", but the house we are "moving" into isn't even finished yet!

As to the issue of preparing for Rita/Katrina....take a look at the difference:
