Default Picture of the damage

With all the news lately about Hurricane Katrina, we shouldn't forget that Houston has had its share of devastating weather also.

The attached photo illustrates the damage caused to a home when Hurricane Rita passed through the Houston area a couple of days ago. It really makes you cherish what you have, and reminds us not to take life for granted!!!


Warning: The attached picture is quite graphic and may not be suitable for younger viewers.

If it weren't for the fact that we had wings at Pluckers, breakfast at Kerbey Lane Cafe, enchiladas at Chuy's, Amy's Ice Cream, and wild monkey sex in my mother-in-law's guest bedroom, I would say it was a wasted trip.

That's probably from me! I had bags and bags of tree leaves that I forgot to clean up from a tree I cut down! Oh well, less work for me!
