Wes & Arlene and everyone else out there from Texas, particularly the Houston, Galveston areas..and anyone that was in the path of
hurricane Ike..............please check in and let us know that you are fine.
My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this clean-up and recovery period. Linda

Thanks for posting Linda. I have been out of town and then today without power until just a few minutes ago. I was just checking in here myself to see how our
TX friends are.
My prayers are with you all too.
Love,

Only thing Ike brought here was a little wind, a trace of rain, and gas prices around $5.50/gal.
The TN gas price hike made national news as the only state to go beyond $5.00/gal

Gov. Bredesen put out a warning that any station caught gouging will be prosecuted to the fullest....................prices have fallen back to
$4.29/gal.
Before Ike and with the fall of the price of a barrel of oil, we were enjoying falling prices......we were down to $3.43/gal. Ya know before the democrats took over control of Congress, gas was $2.22/gal, nationally. Nancy Pelosi promised us relief at the pump if she was elected, well, just look what has happened under a Democratic Congress these last two years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The public, the everyday American, is getting screwed around every corner!!!! They blame Bush, but the fault is with the Democratic controlled Congress...... Do you realize that this housing crisis and the investment/banking problem is a result of 'the seeds of the current crisis in the mortgage and banking industry were planted in the late 1990s when Congress and Bill Clinton reshaped the financial landscape? (Glass-Steagall Act repealed!)
Bill Clinton put pen to paper, and along with Congress, they removed the Depression era barriers between commercial banks and
investment firms and allowed the creation of financial behemoths where, years later, the risks of underwriting risky subprime mortgages were somewhat
hidden.' (Associated Press 09/16/2008)
Todays Congress knows this and knew this two years ago when the Democrats took over. The downward spirial was already in motion, warning signs abound, yet they did nothing!!!! Why??? Because they knew that Bush would be the one taking the heat for their screw-ups of the past (&present) as the presiding President. If they could make him look as bad as possible, for as long as possible, over anything and everything, they were sure they would win the election in 2008, so .............................the rest is history! Or is it? Someone, somewhere has been paid off really well, because this is NEVER brought up by any news media and the general public who want to know, need to know, and just where the fault really lies for the current mess this country is in!!!!! If I were Bush, on my last day in office.........I would salute the incoming President, salute the Democratic Congress and say "adios M. F.'s don't call me...........I'll be in Fiji!!!!!" Sorry, but right now I am a pissed-off john q. public!
Be who you are...Say what you feel...Because those that matter don't mind...and those that mind, don't matter.

We survived fine. Was hectic in my company though as our main headquarters for Texas and the Southwest region are in Houston and we have lots of water systems
in that area and further North that were hit pretty hard. Had to drag generators down to them on Tuesday after it hit and it was amazing to see those 20 year
old pines snapped like toothpicks. Hope all is well with everyone. Working many long hours these last few months and haven't had much time for the
computer. Hope to be around more when it starts cooling off.
Love y'all.
God bless

Thanks for letting us know you are OK Wes. You guys have been in our prayers.
Can you believe that Ike came up here and devistated Ohio with those winds? We still have thousands of people here without power for over a week now. I thought I left hurricanes when I left Virginia.
Love,
