Smallville – 501 – Arrival

By | 2005-10-01

The first episode of Smallville this season was a thriller and a disappointment all at the same time. By saying this, I want to point out that I am a major fan of Smallville, and the way they have developed the characters and story line during their entire four seasons, barring a few episodes that… Read More »

Home

By | 2005-09-27

We arrived home yesterday around 4pm after leaving Brownsboro around 9am. We had no electricity and it was pretty hot inside the house. Everything was just as we had heard from a few people who stopped by earlier to check it out for us; the fence was down, there were branches and leaves all over… Read More »

My Storage Building!

By | 2005-09-24

I heard this evening that someone from our church went by the house to check on our stuff. The fence between us and the neighbor fell into her yard, but it didn’t look like anything else was damaged. Not even my building! That made my day much better. My parents don’t know yet whether there… Read More »

Update/Cell Phone Service

By | 2005-09-23

I text paged my Dad earlier asking him if they’d made it to Tyler yet, and he responded that they were there, comfortable, and headed to bed. For anyone who doesn’t know… If your cell phone isn’t working, your text messaging should work just perfectly. I haven’t been able to talk to my family in… Read More »

18 Hours On The Road

By | 2005-09-23

We got up at 2:30am yesterday morning to leave at 3, but didn’t end up leaving until around 3:30am. We started heading up 225 and I was thinking, “This is GREAT! We’ll be in Athens in, at most, 6 hours.” As soon as Beltway 8 was in sight, I saw nothing but lights… standing almost… Read More »

Leaving Home (RITA)

By | 2005-09-21

We’re leaving in the morning (3am) to head up to Athens, TX. We’ll be staying through Rita and hopefully be home on Sunday night. I pray that everything here stays in tact, and we don’t have any major damage. I just finished building a storage shed in the backyard, and I’d hate for all that… Read More »

Supplies for Rita

By | 2005-09-19

Christle and I went to go for our normal shopping trip, and I figured I’d get some extra water, and a few things to cover us just in case we didn’t have power for a few days. We got to Wal-Mart around 5:30pm and they were running out of drinking water. I had a pretty… Read More »

Rita

By | 2005-09-19

Apparently there is a tropical storm brewing near the Keys, that is heading in our direction. Rita hasn’t been called a hurricane yet, but should be soon after passing the keys and gathering strength in the Gulf. The path she’s taking looks almost exactly like that of the hurricane that went through Galveston about 100… Read More »

Rebuilding New Orleans

By | 2005-09-16

It looks like the Bush Administration is going to take the advice of many conservatives and rebuild with a new blueprint. A city blueprint that involves ownership and accountability. They can get things built correctly with the future in mind. They can quite possibly take New Orleans from one of the poorest cities in America… Read More »

Astroworld Closing

By | 2005-09-13

Astroworld is closing it’s doors after being a part of Houston for 37 years. Apparently they had some debt to take care of and they were having problems with securing their parking lot during football games & the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. To rid themselves of the debt, Six Flags decided that they had… Read More »
