Houston has 250 busses ready to transport refugees (10,000+)to the Dallas Convention Center for shelter but the roads are all flooded so they can't leave for maybe 2 days.  What a damn mess!

Probably dumping the Katrina ones they got from New Orleans on Dallas

Good morning, fellas.
Morning, Uncle Tony.
Survived another weekend. Hoping to get some rest today.
Good to get back to work?
Let's just say weekends are not what everyone finds them cracked up to be.
Weekends are generally great, but sometimes it's nice to get back into the office on Monday morning.
Sounds like Flo has been whispering sweet nothings into your ear.
Yeah, and those sweet nothings sound like kids not whining and bitching. :D
They are pre-teen and female.  You ain't seen nothing yet!  Maybe better plan on taking a second job for the escape you'll need.
And their mom... What's her excuse?

I'm getting old. Gigs always leave me exhausted, but with the exception of those younger days where "substances" were involved the exhaustion never spilled over into the next day. I'm stiff, sore, and tired.
Got to see some live music myself this weekend. My daughter's Girl Scout troop sponsored a music event in town. There was quite a bit of talent there. And then there were a couple of stinkers too. But the event was successful and they collected a ton of baby supplies for charity.

Holy Sheesh, both Houston airports still closed!
Got kin in Houston. They're all watching the water nervously. They're okay so far, but with the CoE opening the floodgates, and the rain still pouring, it's getting dicey.

Haven't heard any reports on Galveston but I'm imagining they got quite a bit of damage too?

Boy just called and I am no longer without a home :).
Congratulations! May your new home be filled with peace and love.
Pretty sure that will be the case as he'll be on his boat on the bay most of the time.
Mostly, but there are the winter months when it is too cold and windy for the bay!
December and January.....maybe?
Add February and most if not all of March, but that is what they make hunting for.  I can go out and enjoy that big waterfront balcony with coffee and a cigar during the 15 minute hairdryer I annoyance activity.
It starts warming up nicely in February, and I've been in the ocean there in March.  Take a jacket if you need to, sheesh.
Wind is mostly the issue
Helps with the drift!

It sure beats the alternative.... (getting old that is!).
Maybe not, maybe not.

Well, she no longer has a uterus, so I know it's not time of the month-type issues. Though, she IS still a woman, so...  ;)

There's a law against that in this state in these situations.  https://www.texasattorneygeneral.gov/cpd/price-gouging

Nothing like a horrific natural disaster to bring out the bastard in lots of people.

Rockport got the initial brunt, from what I've heard.
