Good friends of mine are going up to their lakehouse and invited me...but of course my parents are having a ****fit, not wanting me to go because they don't want me to be a burden to my friend's family...also I'm sure it's because they want me there as a buffer with my grandma, otherwise my mom would go nuts!

But now my parents are saying that they're probably not going to leave. So, who knows...if they don't leave, that increases my chances of going to the lake...not that the weather will be any good for water activities, but at least there's people there my age to booze it up with for a few days.

So if you're leaving Chuck, be safe...and take the damn animals with you! My mom would rather leave me behind than our dog! My last day of work was supposed to be Friday, but I managed to change it to noon today, so I'm off the rest of the week.

Oh good - thanks for posting. But I'm afraid your car ride will be longer than 4 hours if you guys leave too. I heard a news report about an hour ago that the last time Galveston voluntarily evacuated, it took people 6-8 hours to get to Alvin.

Is your brother a TC cop? I worked at City Hall for a while, don't get me started on them. (The administration, not the cops themselves of course.)

Good luck to you and yours as well! Pray that nothing happens to our glorious new orange & black streetlight posts!!!
