Seeing Chris post nearly brought a tear to my eye.

I don't know, but I assume the power outages in the area jacked up the host for it.

So how did all of yall's houses do? My parents in katy had like 300 ft of fence blow down, some shingles off the roof, and now they have like 2 leaks.

And grad school is alright, not much different than normal, at least so far
