John just called and gave me an update. They are in San Antonio and have been there since yesterday. They have been told that they will stay there until tonight.
He was setting at a Chevy dealership getting the AC fixed in the rig. It went out on them yesterday on their way to San Antonio from Houston. It was 95 degrees in the rig. They had the windows down, the fans going and a patient in the back. (UGGGGG).
They finally got a shower after three days. He said everyone was starting to get ripe. The rig has been running straight for three days non stop. Last night was the first it had stopped in that time. They had gone from San Antonio to Houston to Beaumont to Auston to Beaumont to Houston back to San Antonio. There is a lot of road construction going on so they could not open the interstate going into Houston. He said the drivers on the roads where nuts. He told me that he lost some more hair due to the other drivers. They followed a local ambulance service through the back roads and got to their destination a lot faster. I told him it was best to hook up with those local boys. He agreed.
Houston is getting battered. He said that there are fires and they know that there will be many rescues and recovers that is going to have to be done. The residence of Galveston who stayed where told that they had better keep some type of identification on their body, preferably write their social number on their arm for iding the body.
There was a boat in the gulf stuck in the storm that the coast guard could not get to. The last time they made contact with them was at 10 last night. The people where scared to death, but still hanging on. The coast guard told them just as soon as they can get a cutter out there, they will be out to get them and send a tow boat.
The weather in San Anton was nice this morning. The temp is about 70 or so, sunny with a few clouds and nice breeze. John said just like being at home. He can see a few clouds, but it was comfortable. He knows that this afternoon, it will be unbearable hot, has it has been this week.
They finally got to lay down last night to sleep. They were so tired that they did not care were they sleep. John said that he would sleep on concrete if he had to. They are staying at Kelly AFB and will be there until tonight, where they suspect they well be helping in Houston and/or Galveston.
Life goes by too fast and we often look for quick and fast ways to do things. Turn around and we see that everything else has changed. I want to talk about my fight with depression, overweight, teaching special needs, ways to do things such as canning, crafting, parenting, grandparenting, trying to do things as natural, but as safe as possible. Coupon hints, money saving strategies, food preparations, Whatever else I can come up with.
