well, that was the most uneventful hurricane i've ever seen (ok, you caught me. i've never seen a hurricane before, so i guess that makes it the most eventful hurricane at the same time, but still). i went to a friend's house for the night and slept all the way through the night and then woke up and thought 'oh yeah, there was a hurricane last night.' obviously it was not a big deal, at all. i'm pretty sure we didn't even get any rain, which will tick off the locals around here for sure. so, i'm happy that everyone around here is safe and buildings are still standing, but it was anti-climatic for sure.
and a side note - i'm thankful i didn't get hit hard with ike, but houston and the surrounding areas sure did. they will be cleaning up for quite a while. it's a strange thought that because i got spared someone else took a hit. analogy anyone? ;)
watch out for those gas prices though. apparently the texas gulf coast supplies 20% of our gasoline, and the coast was hit pretty hard. guess that means we should start investing in alternative energy...like maybe wind energy. we seem to have a surplus of wind today.
and that's all i got! the internet isn't working at my house right now, so i'm in the office. i'm leaving on sunday for a trip to seattle to see jessie (one of my roommates from college) so i probably won't be posting much for the next week. don't worry, i'm not dead, just on vacation :)
peace out girl scout.
oh, and check this out. it's the 5 stages of hurricane panic...pretty funny :)
