'Our Mrs. Reynolds'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
According to Wikipedia, the grandfather hasn't died yet, so its likely the parents haven't gotten their full inheritance either.
On the other hand, Wikipedia also says:
In 2005, Rick, Kathy, and their two younger sons moved into a 1930s Bel-Air mansion, which they purchased for $10,000,000 USD. The family also maintains a $6.3 million home in The Hamptons on Long Island, New York.
Nah, they could still very well be cash-strapped.
Interesting.
Oh my. This Onion headline made me laugh out-loud:
Bush Braces As Cindy Sheehan's Other Son Drowns In New Orleans
Cashmere, we canceled our newspaper subscriptions for financial reasons. The stress reduction was just an unplanned bonus.
Lovely Rita, mega-cane....
DATA FROM RECONNAISSANCE AIRCRAFT INDICATE THAT RITA HAS INTENSIFIED A LITTLE MORE AND WINDS HAVE REACHED 150 MPH WINDS WITH A MINIMUM PRESSURE OF 920 MB. THIS MAKES RITA A STRONG CATEGORY FOUR HURRICANE.
So, with all that warm water, we could be looking at a Katrina-sized storm with super-low pressures and cat. 5 winds late tonight, before the predicted shear knocks it back to a cat. 3 or 4 in time for a Saturday landfall.

"Galveston, Oh, Galveston..."

Actually, it looks like Galveston is threatened but not directly in line for annihilation.
However, if it maintains its current course, Sugar Land gets the NE quadrant.
Can't wait for the speech in Sugar Land -- "I'm going to be sitting on the front porch of Tom DeLay's house...."
Our client in Houston is closing all their offices this afternoon for the rest of the week.
Which works to my advantage, as I have to change something on a couple of their servers. </evil me me me>
Our office is also closing for the rest of the week.
I was sticking around for a 1PM conference call. Which has been delayed.
My first hurricane was in Houston for a category 1, I think. That was interesting. First time I'd seen that much water come out of the sky in my life, and I'm not really exaggerating (desert.)
You going to stick around or take an impromptu vacation, Dana?
