Dana, I hope the whole Gulf Coast is spared anything too major.

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.
Well, that's one person to not add to your stress, Dana. May you stay safe and sane.
Latest email from my aunt is that their place wil be full up (they live outside Elgin, I think, but lived in Houston until a few years ago) with a couple families/former kids she was the social services worker for as recently as a decade ago. Crazy driver uncle went down to get them. Poor them for the drive experience, but good on my aunt & uncle.
I just learnt that it's recommended you don't go into the ocean here soon after the first rain of the season.
How come?
I think the doctor was skeeved.
How come?
Because all the icky stuff washes into the ocean. Bacteria levels rise.

Not as much as I am. I know I'm ill, but I wanted to throw up.

Why not?
Oh. Ick. Yeah, no surfing.
Ewww.
Last night's *House* on TiVo made me cry and cry and cry and now I have a headache.
How are you feeling better, ita?
Guess your edit answers that.
The thing on House didn't skeeve me that much.
I'd guess all the shit from the city being washed into the nearby waters. At least that is true of the harbor here. Post storm, it is NASTY. And here, filled with used hypos. Uhg. When I was sailing, I was greatly afeared of falling off the boat, since CG told us if it happened, the first stop we made needed to be the hospital for massive shots.
Now pre-oncoming storms, at least in the Gulf, the gross was all the churned up seaweed to wrap around your limbs and more tarballs than usual. Or so I'm told. It was GROSS.
