Later Rita -- We're bugging out

Just a quick note to let everyone know that Katie, Jackson, Porter and I are hitting the road for Conroe to ride Hurricane Rita out with Mom and Row. Main concern is that we'll lose power in the Village area for a week or so, and I don't want to take a risk with the boys. As a younger / single man, I'd probably ride it out (of course -- I'm BRAVE, right..) but it's not about me any more -- Rule #1: Safety First.

We've packed quite a bit of essentials in the Mini and Explorer and we'll head out later. I'll set up the computers at Mom's and be back in action from there. Wish us luck.
