Going to try posting again...seems like I can only get out 
to locals or those west of Texas. Anyway, we are fine and 
did not get a drop of water from Ike. Spent the morning 
harvesting cowpeas. Our son in Chicago has been getting 
the rain instead. Still have plenty of evacuees around in 
local camps, fortunate this is our tourism off season.

Just spoke with relatives in the swamps of Louisiana who 
returned home this morning to find their neighborhood 
flooded, but their house was dry. I have not been able to 
reach my mom who lives in Ike's path outside of Houston. I 
heard her town is without electricity but was not badly 
damaged. I am sure she evacuated and is off playing 
dominos somewhere with friends.
