Benny...don't you tell her what I just said !

BIG nasty problem that is going to last a long time.

I certainly hope you don't receive as much rain as they have stated.

Playing in the wind ended early....it started to get a little to dangerous.

We were up all night long watching the news.

Did you loose power at all?

Howdy, all! Just popping in to check in quickly and say hi, and that things are fine so far here in San Antonio, though more flooding certainly expected starting soon, because the ground is already saturated from rain we got before Harvey even started (several roads are already closed), and this is supposed to last for days. Folks east of us toward the coast are getting their butts kicked, as is Houston, it seems, from what I can see online (glad you're ok, @KikisGirls! Stay safe!). They've evacuated a lot of the patients from the coast to San Antonio, so things are busy this weekend at the hospital, but since I'm on the lab side, I haven't needed to be called in for emergency operations like the clinical folks are, at least so far. Since the wind and flooding forecast was/is unpredictable, and I'm sort of the "over-prepared" type, I cleared the yard of potential projectiles yesterday afternoon (boy, my yard was more of a mess than I realized!!!!) and disabled the automatic chicken doors - everyone's staying locked in their coops today (which I'm sure will make them grumpy!). I've sandbagged (well, soil-bagged) the spot where flash flooding tends to direct a stream of water toward my door (the rest usually runs around the house, which is on a higher on a slope and so doesn't otherwise flood) - one coop (the S&G NN girls) is flood prone, so I'm set to evacuate the six of them to the brooder/pens in the house if needed. Chicken feed is up on pallets, and I'm set with water, food, batteries, a charged generator, a full tank of gas, all the eggs I can eat, lots of books, and beer. I'm likely to get a lot of cleaning done this weekend - I've got at least one closet to reorganize.

Hope everyone east of me in Texas is staying safe and dry!

(Hoping to get back on BYC regularly soon - trying to get more reliable control over my migraines first. )

Glad to hear that you are safe!

My keyboard only writes in English. Sorry.

I think you can change that.

Are you traveling to Mars?

Nope, separating cream to make butter, and with the skim milk make skim milk mozzarella cheese. Drink some too.

You're just a little bit older than my hubby. He's 49. But he'll always be four years older than me.
I like to tease him about being old too.

Oh you crazy kids!

Ho no!

This is a very different from this:
I was 6, my parents moved here for some reason, brought us kids with them.

Yes, it is. I know the reason they moved, job transfer. I joked about not knowing why they brought us kids with them.

Me too...
Hatching this late really isn't wise. But I want more. Does this addiction ever cease?

Self control. Stay strong.

We lost power for only about 30 mins.

Hopefully the future flooding doesn't knock it out for good.

Thirty minutes isn't bad, of course it isn't over yet.
