We did head out this afternoon to meet a friend and click out a few photos. R should be posting him in his blog soon. But this evening, we received yet another call from a concerned friend watching CNN far away from Houston. CNN’s dire predictions are scaring everyone. Right now, we have not yet seen anything crazy in Houston other than some winds and darkening skies. So me and R sit and suddenly I hear the swishing sound – a howling wind sound. I say, hurricane winds are here, listen. We both listen in utter silence and then hear the AC compressor unit kick in! A silly humor while we wait for Ike. So far so good!
