alexpgpI didn't get as much done as I had hoped, but I did manage to translate about 2800 target words, so that's something.
As Houston area property owners, Galina and I have been keeping up with the maps from the National Hurricane Center, and it would appear that every few hours or so, the point at which Hurricane Ike is expected to hit the mainland keeps creeping up along the coast.
The latest 3-day projection shows it coming ashore directly over Galveston at about 1 am on Saturday. Hopefully, by tomorrow morning, the landfall point will be north of Galveston Bay, which won't do much to slow down the wind, but ought to do wonders as far as the storm surge is concerned. (Right now, there's a 90-100% probability of tropical storm force winds in Galveston Bay; an 80% probability of 50-knot winds; and about a 50% probability of hurricane force winds.)
In other news, we picked up a used desk from the Methodist Thrift Shop in town, and aside from one slightly cockeyed drawer, it is a nice piece of equipment.
Cheers...
