Fajitas and Hurricane Ritas

Okay people, first and foremost, it's Josh Bisker's birthday today (yesterday in Japan, today here. It's confusing, but this way he gets two birthdays, which is totally sweet!). Before you read on any further, you should go to his blog, http://biskerboy.blogspot.com (or just click the link at right) and wish him a happy birthday. Seriously, even if he doesn't know you (even if I don't know you) you should leave a comment on his blog. He would love it a lot.

Okay, secondly, Hurricane Rita is apparently set to hit the gulf coast of Texas sometime late night Friday/slash/early morning Saturday, and people are already talking evacuation. I just read that there is an official 10% to 19% that Rita will pass within 75 miles of Houston. So I might be an evacuee for a day or two while the storm blows through, but I'll keep you posted on how everything goes. Because we have quite a bit of warning on this, because we have Lilly's uncle's house to go to about three hours North, and because Houston is above sea level whereas New Orleans most definitely is not, I'm fairly sure that everything will be fine. Still, recent events and images I have seen are scaring me a little bit, so I'm taking all necessary precautions.

Until next time, then, when I will regale you with Hurricane stories, maybe.
