last few days
Hurricane Rita is on it's way through the Gulf of Mexico and I can't help feeling that we've seen this before and will again.
In Houston, highways resembled something out of a disaster movie, according to the Houston Chronicle:
Sixteen hours to San Antonio and Dallas. Eleven hours to Austin. With over a million people trying to flee vulnerable parts of the Houston area, Hurricane Rita will be a nightmare even if Galveston doesn't take a direct hit. . Trying to leave Houston on I-10, Ella Corder drove 15 hours to go just 13 miles today.
Despite weakening to Category 4, the storm was still packing winds of 145 miles per hour and appeared headed toward eastern Texas and western Louisiana. The area is thick with refineries and other chemical plants.
Yesterday I received a gift from the setting sun on the beach at Scarborough - a perfectly green sea urchin shell.
I've also made a compilation for St Ad and Momo

So hold me, Mom, in your long arms. So hold me,
Mom, in your long arms.
In your automatic arms. Your electronic arms.
In your arms.
So hold me, Mom, in your long arms.
Your petrochemical arms. Your military arms.
In your electronic arms.
