Hi Everyone, I'm here. We just had a lot of wind and rain from Faye. We are on high ground and had no problem with flooding. We do have lots of rivers surrounding us and they are still rising, but not flooding. We had a bad electrical storm last Fri night. With about 5 inches of rain and I'm not sure if it was actually from Gustav or not. Hanna doesn't seem to be a threat except to maybe the Carolinas. And I'm not sure what Ike might do. We never did lose power even though some of the county was out for awhile. Our son works for a utility company as a Mechanic Supervisor for the operation of the big bucket trucks. He worked almost around the clock for about 4 days and got pretty exhausted. He was up about 10 ft on the boom and when he went to step on the top of the ladder to come down, missed his step and almost fell. He was able to grab hold of something and only got some banged up ribs and shins. He blamed it on his new bifocals making him mis-judge his step. I think it was from fatigue mostly. But we are all doing fine and hubby and I are getting ready to get back to work after him having his knee replacement. So have been super busy. And the butterflies are still flitting around and I think there are more than ever and they are huge. Glenda

I am glad she upgraded to first class. I think she was flying US Air....I have had problems with them, too. She should be able to sleep/rest much better in first class. She deserves to have a great, problem free vacation!

Terilyn, if you call Glenda, let her know that she is in our thoughts and prayers and missed here at the KT.

This isn't about the genre of music you listen to, this is about hearing a great song from any genre. Never heard of the band before until DS told me and I'm hooked. Doesn't mean I'll stop listening to the Stones. If you put yourself in an only rock music corner, you're missing out on great stuff. Kswl, not sure what you mean regarding how they glorified prison. I see no glorification at all, and instead complete sadness & empathy. Nate writes from the heart if you listen to his songs. Prisons across the country are both old and new, and some should be torn down. And many prisons do have multi-purpose rooms and entertainment. They played this song at the concert and I was so happy DS was close to hear it which he had already. I hope it reminds DS of Mother's Day coming up. LOL This is dedicated to his mom & other moms of band members. Playing themselves.
