Update from Houston Options

[spare time toys]

It is hot and muggy here. Heat index is 101 (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif) The airport is packed clear out the front door. All the gates are full of A/C and have 1 or 2 waiting to get in to each gate. Last count the line for take off was 22 A/C long and none of them are going because the ATC is on a reduced crew. They let about 10 go and 10 land and so on. We counted 60 A/C sitting around at gates holding for gates or to take off (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif) One of the guys went upstairs to get a burger and said it is just a mad house. I am here untill 3 PM tomorow that is when we turn out the lights and the employies fly out Larry

Hope everything moves as smoothly as can be and y'all book it on back home safe and sound.

I've got family coming up, be here tomorrow from Seabrook. An old friend of mine (who is sorely lacking in common sense sometimes) is worried about the weather in Plano, which I understand "could be bad" but nothing like it will be there. My Aunt's house probabily won;t be there when they get back, along with that neighborhood and the damage to the coast, it's hard to get those not in the devestation, or lacking sense, to see, even after Katrina.

The Gulf's not been a pleasent place this season for weather.

It'd also suck to be stuck on a grounded plane. The temps inside get to be pretty brutal. Even worse when you ride coach, sick with a fevor and not quite recovered, and they run outta water three rows infront of you.

Take care,
Mike
