Houston Traffic Jams

Houston Evacuees escape Hurricane Rita using Interstate 45. To speed the evacuation, the governor halted all southbound traffic into Houston and took the unprecedented step of opening all eight lanes to northbound traffic out of the city for 125 miles.

Staying? Better write your SS# on your body

PORT LAVACA, Texas

Mayor Alan Tharling of Port Lavaca, a city on the Texas coast between Houston and Corpus Christi, is taking creative measures to make citizens take the threat of Hurricane Rita seriously.

Tharling says that the 1,000 or so die-hards who refuse to evacuate are being given permanent markers and asked to write their Social Security number, next of kin and a phone number on their arm or across their abdomen — so that returning officials can identify their bodies.

A New Adventure

Well, here I am, starting on another new adventure. Blogging. What is a blog? Seems to be an online journal or diary.

Diaries I know... remember the cute little diaries from grade school? With the lock and key. We'd write important stuff like

" I really, really, really like Tommy. He's so cute! He looked at me in science class today. Maybe I'll ask Jill to ask Jack to ask Tommy if he likes me."

Journals I know....pregnancy journals, weight loss journals. I think I still have a few of those floating around in the attic.

So now it's time to try blogging. Same concept, just a different name and form. What is this going to be about? I'm not sure. I'm just going to take it day by day. I'm sure eBay and my eBay store and adventures in selling will be a big part of it, as they are a big part of my life. Kids, grandkids, just life in general.

Enough for now...let's see if this really works!
