Once is not enough...

#1 Post by tanstaafl2 » Wed Sep 10, 2008 10:59 pm

Or so it would seem...

After a fun filled week riding out Hurricane Gustav in Marshall, Tx on the East Texas Baptist University campus, which the remnants of the hurricane passed more or less directly over, we returned to Atlanta to await Hurricane Ike that was expected to make landfall in Florida. Of course Ike had other plans and instead vacationed in Cuba before making a beeline for the Texas coast.

And so I find myself back in Texas, this time on the campus of Texas A&M, as we prepare for patients evacuating the coast.

And guess where the the current projected path of the hurricane goes...

You saying it's your fault?

Be safe.

Fate perhaps, rather than fault.

Watch out for loose trampolines.

Thanks for looking out for us.
Enough already. It's my fault! Get over it!

That'll be $10, please.
