Katrina

Here we go again. We just went through this not very long ago. Luckily the hurricane did not hit us than, this time who knows?

The path that everyone is giving Katrina is putting it heading directly towards New Orleans. It hasn't started its move towards the north yet, it's still heading west. That could be good or bad. If it just keeps heading west that would be great, at least for us, not so good for Texas. But if it starts turning north, which everyone is expecting it to do, it will either hit us directly, or we'll be on the right side, which is not the side you want to be on for a hurricane. So a lot depends on when it turns north.

Today was supposed to be my day off, but I've spent most of it at the store, getting it ready for the hurricane. We had to board up the windows and all that good stuff. We're still open, we'll open tommorrow and see how the hurricane goes.

I haven't decided what I'm going to do. The last time I stayed home, I remember one moment thinking I had made a mistake when they announced something on the news about where I live being about to get some really bad weather. That time I got lucky. I've actually thought of staying in the store, it's a big building, little glass, probably better than staying where I am.

So no decisions yet. It'll probably be late tonight or tommorrow before we know anything real definite about its path. Anyone got a spare room?
