Rita Watch: Advisory 9

The in-laws are at my house napping along with their four dogs. They left Houston at about 3:30 am and had no trouble getting to Austin. They went on "back roads" until they got to Hwy 71, then they came on in to Austin.

The four visiting dogs have met the two resident dogs, and it is reported that they got along just fine.

I heard reports that some levees in New Orleans have given way, and the Ninth Ward is flooding again.

We have finished (I think) getting the training and support material ready for use next week. It's going thru some final reviews right now.

I was reading some comments on the evacuation in which one person said, "Rick Perry makes George Bush look like a Rhodes Scholar." Now, that's tough talk! Funny...really funny...but tough.
