Re: global warming/Rita

Scotty & Noreen & all, stay safe, and please contact us when & as often as
you can. This group has become extended family. I don't sleep well if I
don't know everyone is in & safe at night. I've takes a couple of taxi rides
between Houston & Galveston & there's not much down there to stop any big
waves and I don't remember any high ground to speak of. You're in my prayers
as always.

Deep into County Fair activities this week. Seems surreal with all the
devestation elsewhere.
