We got Ike'd... not really

Hurricane Ike hit Texas last weekend. Houston and Galveston got pounded last Friday, but since B/CS is about 2 hours inland, we were fortunate that we only got a bit of wind and some rain on Saturday morning. We were reasonably prepared in the event it were worse - had candles, flashlights, several jugs of water, and some extra non-perishable foods. But the storm wasn't bad here at all - didn't even lose any power!

If there's one thing good that Ike brought, it's that the weather is now COOLER. It's about 16 C in the mornings and 25 C at midday, which is AWESOME. Reminds me of home. :-)
