1. OK, it can quit raining now in Houston. The brand new extended loop around Houston, the Grand Parkway (99 Tollway) has very little development in the main (but for Katy & The Woodlands) but has flooded like a son of a bitch at just about every exit for close to 50 miles of road way. While this has been a record breaking rain, I have a feeling that the new tollway is going to be flooding for years & years to come as development moves in.

2. The Eagles have mortaged their future for a QB pick next week. I'm happy. Sam's pissed.

3. My three legged dog can out run your four legged dog. But he can't scratch the left side of his face/head.

4. There are (62) 1st blood cousins from my Mother's side of the family being born between the years 1939 thru 1973. Most have lived successful, happy fulfilled lives but the 3 or 4 that are UT grads.

5. The Astrodome is going to be re-purposed. It's good to know that eventually one can get some Dome Foam again.

6. I cleaned up my puter yesterday deleting mega amounts files including Keith Ford's singing day pics & vids.

7. My wife twisted her ankle and is wearing one of those soft casts that air up. Wow, does it looks bad. So I bought her some paint & a bedazzle kit and told her to fix her boot up.

8. What's the correct way to look at or handle someone w/ a glass eye that looks in a different direction than the good eye? I'm thinking the good eye. But then I start feeling wired as if they know I'm looking at it only. So I give the glass eye a complimentary look which ultimately freaks me out because then I realize it can't look back at me.

Can you give me the name of a Houston Freeway/toll road that is not screwed up? These projects create jobs. Gulf Freeway has always been under construction. North Freeway rebuilt fairly recently and now scheduled to be torn up again. The bottom line too many people. Soylent Green could resolve this situation.

Dome - will review this situation in 15 years when the Texans threaten to move if a new 4 billion dollar stadium is not built.

Agreed on the roadways. But man, you can drive that tollway for miles of future develpoment signs everywhere, schools are being constructed and it's already flooding. This does not bode well for for the thousands of future homes that families will be moving into. It aint good.

We can assume the flooding hasn't adversely affected you and yours...that's a good thing. A lot of those poor folks have lost it all.
Thank God for insurance.:eek:

Just got TV & Internet back this morning. We had a flooded garage, but not the house. I'd say half the hood has been flooded out.

I hear one of the worst repercussions of wildfires here in Malibu is that it drives the snakes out their habitat and into the homes and businesses.

Well, if it's a woman, just do what you'd normally do; look at her boobs. If it's a dude, he probably doesn't GAF. ;)
