Oh yeah, I told a bit of a lie I guess - the walk and all that fun stuff was actually on Thursday, not Wednesday. The jfre81 Photo Dept. regr...actually, no I don't. I made a mistake. Shoot me.

I've been losing track of days, too, especially those days where there was no power, no school, no work, etc.

Now Playing: Nine Inch Nails > With Teeth (2005) > Every Day Is Exactly The Same

When nothing's going on, it doesn't matter what the day of the week is, right?

Well, I went down Westheimer and then Montrose, and it looks like it's all up and running now. You almost can't tell there was a hurricane two weeks ago. Even Katz's is no longer klosed.

Can't say that all the neighborhoods are with power, but I didn't drive through them all. If not, it shouldn't be long.

WOW, I was in the building behind the LV MASSAGE during the hurricane!!! My buddy and I didn't want to be alone at our places during the storm so we decided to stay at his place....smart move, since I lost my ceiling!
I wonder if they'll replace the windows that were broken in the old Holiday/Days Inn building.......its a treasured landmark.

Default Glad Everyone's OK

Great photos, especially Jack-in-the-Crack. If you package that one, you'll make a million, jfre. I'm just glad Houston didn't get completely blown away and that things are getting back on track.
