I guess this is to me.  Sounds like you two guys just found out what  
it's like to have a hurricane...IN OHIO!  Glad you are both doing well  
and had minimal damage comparatively.  We've probably all seen what  
happened down on the coast of Texas.  Who thought it could keep going  
so far?

I'm glad to say it missed me completely.  It passed well east of the  
Dallas area as far as I know.  All we got was 5/8 inch of rain.   
Thanks for thinking of me.  You take care of yourselves.
