I haven't decided if I should call it from the dugout or the outfield. Apparently, both have really great views!

Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!

I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.

What Rodney are you referring to in Houston? Is he an umpire? I might know who you are referring to> Any chance his last name begins with S?

I can't even imagine what you guys must be going through down there or the magnitude of that storm at landfall. I'm a thousand miles away from where Ike hit Texas and we got walloped yesterday!

The remnants of Ike blew through Ohio yesterday and the winds still packed a punch. 80 m.p.h. gusts knocked out power to a half-million customers, ripped off roofs and downed tress throughout the area. And the center of the storm was a couple hundred miles north of us!

My yard is littered with debris and fallen branches. Sections of my neighbors six foot wooden fence were knocked down and a gate was ripped away from my fence.

Surprisingly, we were far enough away from the center that little rain fell- just a few sprinkles. It isn't uncommon for hurricanes to come inland, then stall out over the midwest, staying in one place and dumping rain for several days.

Nope... it begins with a R I got to call on the same complex with him and his wife in Florida this summer.

OK,

I am back. Elec came back 7:00 am today.

Three trees down, nothing major to the new house. Had to replace two
sheets of the metal roofing, and a piece of my fireplace chimmey.

Got almost all the trees in front cleaned up, so things picking up.

MRE's have improved since I was in the military.

Hope everyone else got through IKE OK.

Good to hear you made it through better than the last time.

I guess you are now gonna use those three trees and build another room?

Hope all get back to normal soon.

MRE's? What about C-Rats?

Glad you're OK!

He was referring to Roth, but by now sure that has been clarified.
