My son, Brett, standing by #26. That day Brent, Sherry, Ashlynn, Brett and I were purchasing tickets to see a River Cats game, in Sacramento, CA. Oakland "A" farm team. This NASCAR (McMurray) was being unloaded to go on display in front of the ball park. And that is the day I learned the head lights on these race cars are only DECALES.
It is Sept 9th and we are looking for another Hurricane (Ike) to come close, but this time more south, which puts us on the north to north-east side and that is not good.

Tomorrow is my birthday, the big 70 (hear me screaming) and my DH took me out to dinner at the Cheesecake Factory. Fabulous!. We started off with Chicken Pot Stickers, then he had the pork chop dinner and I had orange chichen. Then we brought home two cheesecakes. On my gosh....... Fantastic!!! My son introduced me to this resturant when I was in California in July. Then we came home and I played on the computer, did some laundry and now it is time for the Yankees and the Mariners.

Hurricane Gustau

Well, it did not even come close to us. NO wind and NO rain from the storm. And it hit shore as a Cat. 2. La. got it again. Maybe that is an omen, leave New Orleans... give it back to nature. Back to work as normal today, Tuesday. Some day off yesterday.

And here is ALASKA

And said it was wonderful.

Still waiting to see what happens to Hurricane Gustau, it should hit the coast tomorrow am. And the direction it is going it looks like it will go in around New Orleans again. If it turns any this way, we are screwed. Pasadena can flood in a small storm. And with this property below street level, we will for sure flood AGAIN.

Rusty's coloring is changing so quickly.

8/30/08, Hurricane is heading straight into Havana, Cuba. And here we sit, waiting to see where it is going. We are so ready to leave this part of the world. Why anyone would want to live in this area is beyond me. With the hurricanes, tornadoes, the heat, the humidity, the refinery odors, the low salaries, teh dust, the "other" odors we just want out of here.
Right now it is a wait and see where Hurricane Gustau is going, but if it is headed towards Galvestion, that means us, too. Then there is Hanna coming in right behind Gustau. We will have to evacuate.... mandatory evac. But if it hits New Orleans, I am so sorry. It is not three years since Katrina, they don't need another one. If it hits here, our facility is doomed. We will lose everything we own, as will others storing their items here. More to follow as I learn more.
