Adding to the Craziness

It's been a while, but tomorrow, late afternoon, Andrew & I will be headed to Shreveport for his reserve duty weekend stuff. Yes. Shreveport. As in Northern Louisiana. As in the state about to be pummelled by Hurricane Ivan. Shreveport is far north-- and should not be severely threatened by the hurricane. BUT. It's possible that they'll get some pretty nasty storms. I mean, here in San Antonio we might get some storms. They're going to get storms in a few days up north-east. So far, the reserve folks say it's no problem, things are going as planned. But what could really suck? If Andrew can't get lodging on base, (and there's only a limited amount of rooms there) then they usually put us up in hotels in town. That's right, friends, the hotels where all those people from SOUTHERN Louisiana, who were required to evacuate, will be staying. So stay tuned, dearies, cause we may have a very cranky person who doesn't have a place to stay late late late tomorrow night, and who would then have to, like, drive back 7 hours to San Antonio. Possibly in a storm. I'm doing "prep" things for the trip now-- getting a printer to take with me, fixing other things. We'll be there, if all goes well, for 8 days. It means updates from the little coffee shop (Moxie Java) and lots of good writing.

But it might mean a very annoyed woman, too. :) We shall see..... Obviously, I'll still post tomorrow, and maybe by then we'll have gotten a notice to NOT come.

There are other annoyances in the works right now too. I'll tell you about 'em sometime. But I tell you, they're doozies.!!
