Another milestone, Galveston, and our veggies project

Well, today marks my eightieth day of the writing of my Blog!
Who knew I would be such a prolific writer of nonsense, actually I suppose most would believe that.
But oddly enough I do believe or hope that some substance has also been projected from my arsenal of interests and opinions.
As I've repeatedly said I'm not just another pretty face; there is much more to me, and what I have to say.
Confessions: I think I use that pretty face metaphor because I no longer have a face that is pretty or nice looking otherwise since I received a dog bite on it a few years back.
Oh no, I'm not some monstrously distorted figure by any means I did have a plastic surgeon repair the damage at the time, 40 minuscule stitches did the job, but it still did change my face, and the way I remember me when I look in the mirror.
Now don't start feeling bad about or for me... it just looks like my past smoking of cigarettes caused wrinkles there above my upper lip or now oddly enough they are also blaming water bottles for the same appearance, which I also am guilty of using. So either way I was doomed for those upper lip wrinkles.

Galveston Texas is being pummeled by winds and a wall of water at this writing and Hurricane Ike is still 6 to 8 hours from landfall there.
Nearly 10K residents refused to leave, and now their lives are in jeopardy, and they are now being told, which is hard for me to think about, it is also obscenely unrelatable to me that they should write their names and social security numbers on their arms for identification for when their bodies are found, horrible is an understatement!
Whoever you believe has any power over nature or weather’s wrath please ask them to go easy on our co-Americans in Texas and nearby states to halt this devastation diminish its power and to leave the land of the free and the home of the brave as soon as possible with as little as possible devastation, and loss of life as nil.
And be brave you mighty Texans, careful and smart too! Do whatever it takes to save yourselves.
Any who believe in a superior being pray to him/her for their safety.

Today we did go for prices for the home grown veggie project, but I am extremely discouraged since the projected cost is far more than I thought. And I am concerned that it may not be doable. Oh well, we still have some time to rethink the way we will do it, and perhaps there will be another method for us to consider.

Good night to all, and hope our friends to the west are kept safe.
