I just finished reading the account of hurricane Ike on the computer and how it has ravished Galveston and Houston. Both are cities that we love and have enjoyed frequently. The boundaries between Oklahoma and Texas are blurred and as people, we feel close to each other. The exception being football season of course.

I am so sorry for the misery and devastation. There will be an opportunity to help through various agencies I am sure and we will certainly do so. I am sure that our shelters are full already just as they are in Dallas and the inland parts of Texas. While not as severe as Katrina, it is closer to home. I worry a lot about my cousin, Virginia and her husband, Tom. Tom is well into his eighties and feeling it. I can't get them on the phone, but know they would feel free to come here. They live in Victoria which is a ways from Houston. We should know more tomorrow.
