Flooding in Texas

[Voice of Reason 10,298]

Been without internet for a bit of the past few days, and only tonight have heard about Imelda and the flooding.  Hope all of our family here in VJ that lives in TX is doing well.

Doing great myself but we are saturated and can't handle much more rain but we live a tad south between Houston and Galveston. My wife and I anniversary was tonight and we had to cancel our dinner we had in Houston as the roads were impassable for the most part. East of Houston to the border of Louisiana and especially Beaumont to Orange are now a part of the ocean and heavy damage. They will be declared disaster areas and the landscape will be altered. I was looking at buying some land that way and glad I didn't now but will be looking at bargains in the near future.

Happy anniversary, dude!

 

Area indeed can't handle another drop of rain.

Send some our way. As my dad used to say,  it's drier than a popcorn fart here.

We live near you guys.  No water here but we didn’t go anywhere north of the beltway this past week.

Yeah the roads were just draining away earlier today but we came out pretty good. North of Houston is a disaster again though and eastward we should find out within a couple days how bad it got. Glad you made it OK and are safe.Good luck and God bless. We live near Kemah boardwalk at someplace called Bacliff about a block from the bay.

Thanks dude. Hope your area came out OK. I have one friend not far from you and he said they are OK. Take care.

Ok, not a flooding issue, but the wife said her car needed washing, so I dutifully washed it before the college games started.  Of course, she decided she needed to go shopping just as the thunder storm was coming through.

 

BTW, Happy Anniversary @luckytxn, we have our five year coming up next Friday.

Happy anniversary to both @Bill & Katya and @luckytxn.  Quite an accomplishment,  retaining your sanity for such a long time span!

Yeah my wife pulled that ####### last week too and I refused because I said wait until after the coming tropical storm but she of course  won out as she has the you know what and I wanted some of it of course.

 

Thanks. This is the 9th official wedding that actual counts because it was a Catholic church thingy. We have the civil ceremony one in February 18th that was our 10th anniversary. That 90 day window we had that most of us know about here seems to be not mentioned by my wife but I can't forget. We supposed to go out tomorrow or Monday someplace nice but she hasn't made up her mind yet where.

 

Thanks AFLKAD. Never will say I am still sane but and am hanging in there to the best of my ability.

That is what I told Katya, she gets to decide where we go; so far no decision.  I imagine she will wait for the last minute.

Mine is waiting too and I already know she will probably tell me to decide and I plan on Seafood buffet at San Jacinto Inn or a steak bigger than my head somewhere nice. Sometimes she throws a curveball and tells me where we are going but it involves a suit usually. She did say I was shaving and haircut tonight so she is playing a game right now.

We were in Russia recently and found a Serbian steakhouse that had steaks of at least 750 grams.  No way I could finish it.

I could destroy that and dessert and a couple of beers. Try this place. I been here a few times and never tried the challenge but watched some try and only one actually finish it. 72 oz and all the trimmings and it is free if done in one hour.
