As of right now, cell phones are not accepting or placing calls, so I don’t know where anyone is. I’m at work, where I’ll be tomorrow and the rest of the weekend. The rest have fled (or are fleeing), I hope. I assume, since I haven’t been able to contact anyone and haven’t heard anything to the contrary. Even Dad is being moved out of the city.

Assuming that we keep electricity running and I can access the Web, I will try to keep posting these “still here” notes from downtown Houston. Of course, with a category 4 (almost 5) hurricane about to make landfall in this city, the odds of keeping things humming without interruption are not good.

Talk to all of you soon.
