"Preparing for the Worse and Praying for the BEST!"

As Hurricane Ike threatens us, Gov. Rick Perry (see story from a couple of days ago) is really on the stick! His quote today is, "We are preparing for the worse and praying for the BEST!"

Here in East Texas, we are preparing for Evacuees from the Texas Coast (Houston & suburbs and Galveston Island especially). 

The local high school football game has been cancelled, so you know this is serious stuff. (Presume some of you know about Friday Night Lights in Texas.)

If Ike takes too much of a turn to the right, we will get some damage. Right now, extreme winds and possible tornadoes are expected. 

Still have the provisions from two weeks ago.

There are so many songs about Texas including Going Back to Houston, Galveston, Deep in the Heart of Texas, Yellow Rose of Texas but the one we need to remember now is GOD BLESS TEXAS!
