OK Ike, you can go away now!

Even though it's been 5 days since Ike hit the Texas coast, it is still reeking havoc on everyone's lives. There is no "normal" here. The boys are out of school for at least this week, the grocery stoes that are open are only letting several people in at a time because they are running on generators, the gas stations that are open have lines miles lone and hour waits! Neighborhoods are such a mess, I gate seeing the trees uprooted and branches everywhere!!! Looks like a war zone...hopefull by the time I get back from Denver on the 26th, everything should be back to normal...we'll see.
