On the Texas Gulf Coast!
There is nothing quite like staring down a storm that fills 3/4 of the Gulf of Mexico 2 weeks in a row. No evacucation this time. No money and no patience for a 20 hour 200 mile trip to Austin. Will probably playing the acoustic for a while after Saturday. There is no stress quite like it. We tend to have a party and drink!
I've got blisters on my fingers!

Seek immediate medical attention if you suddenly go either deaf or blind.
If you put the Federal Government in charge of the Sahara Desert, in five years time there would be a shortage of sand.

I'm just south of Houston and about 30 miles due west of Galveston Bay. We won't be seeing any problems from storm surge flooding, but it could get real interesting here depending on where Ike decides to make landfall. We're not going anywhere and have been making preparations the last couple of days. Should be a fun night! :?:shock:

Hang on tight guys. Hope everyone makes it through okay.

Re: On the Texas Gulf Coast!
Call me crazy (and you wouldn't be far off! 
) but I'd be out surfing or parasailing.
It sure beats bein' stuck in traffic and getin' beat up anyway.
It's like that Ron White joke. (Hey! He's from Texas!) "It's not that the wind is blowin'. It's what the wind is blowin! It don't matter how good shape you're in if you get hit by a Volvo or you got a stop sign stickin' outta yer spleen! (I'm pretty sure that's the quote.)
I was in the Big Scary Hurricane in New York in the '80s. It turned out to be a misser but everyone got out anyway. Me, I went in to work. Turned out we were the only studio open in the whole damn town so I kept pretty busy. The worst part was I had to walk home, just hundreds of blocks 'cuz no public transportation was running. Everything was shut down, boarded up and eerily quiet.

Just rise with the tide man. And if the power goes out, start one of the gensets.

Re: On the Texas Gulf Coast!
Yeah, I wuz just watchin' CNN. The waves break over the seawall in Galveston. That seawall would kick my ass when I got there. It looks like there's a lot of large driftwood in the surf. That's gotta hurt!kec wrote:You crazy!!!CaseyJones wrote:Call me crazy (and you wouldn't be far off!
If your power is still on rent "A Fish Called Wanda". Jamie Lee Curtis?! You betcha I'd hit it! Even now that she's gone grey and does yogurt commercials.

Every bit as funny as "A fish". Starts with a confessional scene that ranks as my all time favorite 4-5 minute clip in movies.

Re: On the Texas Gulf Coast!
No trees through my roof. Lots of firewood in my yard. Neighborhood took a whipping. No guitars or amps ruined. Great jams sessions by campfire. Beats nthe snot out of working. No AC for weeks. Running out of generator gas. Hopefully MRE'S will show up by then.

Re: On the Texas Gulf Coast!
time to write a good song...hit the charts...
It could be worse i suppose...
Some brokers in Manhattan are faced with selling their Lester's collections or jumping off the window...while the Chinese, Arabs and European investors are buying America Inc. on 2-cents-to-tha-dolla.

Re: On the Texas Gulf Coast!
It's not that simple. If foreign capital was there to prop up the markets it wouldn't have gone down as far and as fast as it did. Sellers outnumber buyers. Supply and demand, price goes down. Buyin' in at 2 cents (tempting!) ain't worth squat if the goin' rate at the end of the day is $.01.Tubetwang wrote:Some brokers in Manhattan are faced with selling their Lester's collections or jumping off the window...while the Chinese, Arabs and European investors are buying America Inc. on 2-cents-to-tha-dolla.
It's friggin' stupid anyway. Pass the money hand to hand, a little bit of money moving very fast can fool the naked eye. It's just a green flash, is that roll Benny Franklins or Georgie Washingtons? Wrap the roll in a Franklin to impress the suckers, it's an old trick.
When genuine Mullards drop to ten bucks each I'm buyin'!

Don't quote me wrong pardner...
Foreign capital don't prop up the market...they buy corporation that are bankrupt...
The proping up is done with tax money...
The Chinese, Arabs and Germans own most of America...
The President is still American made but...
I'm working on a song...it's a slow process...
