Ike Update

Hello all:

I am sure many of you have seen the news and are wondering what exactly is happening down in south-east Texas. Well, I am pleased to tell you that we know what you know. Under mandatory evacuation we headed to DeRidder, LA this afternoon and are safe and sound for the time being (not without MAJOR set-backs, though...another story for another day-it's always an adventure). We expect significant winds here but I am told that we are not in danger of rising water. We will keep you all posted as much as possible.
