  1. these 2 dorcus' are being much more tolerant and affectionate with each other.

    and finally this little one is slowly trying to claim my recliner chair as her own.  This is her WTF you gonna do about it look:

    How old is your lab? Her markings are remarkably similar to Rocket, including the bit of white on the tip of her tail. You didn't adopt her from the Austin Humane Society in February, did you?

    Speaking of Rocket, I took him to the vet today because he's been favoring one of his back legs for over a week with no visible sign of injury. In addition, Edgar nipped his front leg pretty good while they were roughhousing and he needed two staples. They think the limp is hip dysplasia and are going to do x-rays in 10 days after he finishes the antibiotics for the cut. So right now he's in a cone, has two staples in a front leg, is walking like an old man because of his hips, and is under vet orders to not play with Edgar at all at least until the x-rays. Oh, and cannot figure out how to chew his bone. Poor baby.

  2. My parents are back home - this morning Mom told me that she talked to the fire department and they said it was up to them as to whether or not they wanted to go back. They had Thanksgiving at my uncle's sister's house in Beaumont. I'm seeing a lot of people who went back today but I wasn't comfortable doing that with the evacuation order still in place. People in that area are hardened to evacuations so I'm not really surprised.

  3. Total is by Larry’s French market, 366
    motiva refinery is 73 and Savannah, good ways away, but they have other facilities around huntsman and tpc 


    Ohhhh right. Thanks. Isn't there also a Motiva plant right on the Louisiana border? Or am I thinking of something else?

    So my friend whose daughter took the video of the second explosion - her husband works at that plant. He left at 1247 and the first explosion was at 1258. Crazy.

    So what did he forget to do before he left?

    All I know is she said he "docked the ship at the refinery at 1247 am, walked through the refinery, and headed to pilot office." 

  5. Don't forget to grab the turkey for tomorrow.
    And the whiskey. Definitely don't forget the whiskey.


    Going to the in-laws in Crosby, who live on Lake Houston. They have a well-stocked liquor cabinet, a boat, and cable TV, so we should be set. Unless one of the plants near there explodes.

    That facility is older than dirt and looks it 

    That plant is one of the oldest, if not the oldest, ones in the area. The road it's on (136) has been called Rubber Plant Road as far back asI can remember.

    Drove in to Groves yesterday. The boom woke me up, but we were supposed to get storms last night and I thought it was thunder. We are at my parents' house, about 1.5 miles away as the crow, flies but no damage.

    The hand of God must have been over that place because it is amazing that no one was killed.
