Hurricane Report

Since we are reasonably close to the Gulf of Mexico coast, several people have asked whether we have felt the effects of Hurricane Katrina. We're thankful that we haven't; eveything here has been sun and heat.

But we have been hit by another storm: Hurricane Aggie, which moved into town last week and inundated us with returning students. We didn't much notice the effect of the student population on life here last year, but after a quiet summer--a summer of being able to drive in town without much traffic or get a table at a restaurant without waiting an hour--we are really noticing the effects now. Some days, we just wish they'd go away.

But, then again, my job depends on them being here.
