Customer Rob just sent me this picture of one of our badass first responders.

So, if I have to call somebody to come get me, y’all send Daryl.

We are still dry and have electricity this morning.  That puts us in the top 1%.  Thousands of my friends and neighbors are under mandatory evacuation today because the Brazos River (which is one unforgiving sumbitch of a river) will hit 59 feet tomorrow night.  That’s higher than any flood in recorded history.

We have been told to stay put.  We do have a second floor.

Let me tell you what a good man I married. You know about our Republican neighbors across the street.  They are so typical of Republicans – haughty and oh so much smarter than anyone else.  We don’t chat much.  Well, they are in their 80’s, so Bubba walked across the street in the rain and told them if it flooded, they would be welcome to come to our house since we have a second floor.  They said that they appreciated the offer, but you could tell it would just kill them to ask a Democrat for help because Republicans are so damn self-sufficient and can take care of themselves.

Our neighbor beside us is the one who asked us not to have so many Muslims come to our house because Muslims are ordered by their God to kill us all.  That guy can drown.  I don’t care.

Sorry about the lack of news but we ain’t getting any news here.  But, Nick Anderson did this cartoon.
