Helpless

This morning was pretty difficult. I spent a lot of time watching the news, and it wasn't good. I ate breakfast, then came up and watched a little more news, then got on the internet. I zoned into some non-hurricane web sites and just read things, and it was so nice. So, I decided that I didn't want to spend a lot of time sitting around wondering what was happening chez nous.

We went to lunch, as I said in yesterday's post. And then we went to Space Center Houston, a visitor's center/activity center adjacent to the Johnson Space Center. I thought it was closer to our hotel than it was, but it was still a very good idea. We were gone for over four hours, and we played and enjoyed the place, and I didn't think once about my house.

But now it's back to reality, and I'm mighty apprehensive about it. Aside from the information that I-10 between St. Tammany Parish and Orleans parish being severely damaged, this is the only thing I've read specifically about my area, and it's not good at all.

Thanks to all for your concern and kind wishes. We're planning on staying here at least until Wednesday morning. I don't know what we'll do after that.
