alexpgpIn addition to the overall happiness associated with my mother's condition (back to where it was on Monday, i.e., uncommunicative and hostile to physical therapy), I am reliably informed that, in addition to having offspring in harm's way in Houston, our properties in that area are insured neither for flood nor wind damage.
I get the feeling that, should the cards fall a certain way, I shall soon be starting anew, from scratch, to attain a state that has taken several decades to achieve. I do so hope I am exaggerating and wa-a-a-y off the mark.
Indeed, I mean nothing personal, but it would be simply grand if Rita's path were to go horizontal, thus allowing the beast to storm ashore south of Houston, where there are few people, as far away from our kin and holdings as possible.
There is, however, little that con be done aside from praying, and if you hold to Christian beliefs, there is that troublesome line in the Lord's Prayer where believers acknowledge that God's will is his own, with the implication that we may not always understand why things happen the way they do, despite prayer.
However, I'm not much of a theologian, just a working stiff.
Lord, keep us all safe and minimize the cost. Please.
Cheers...
