Hurricane Rita

Paul awakens Saturday morning to full power... but the cable modem is down... so he continues his online championship Yahtzee tournament from the comfort of the couch with his wireless BlackBerry device.

A look out over the neighborhood... a nice 'wash' did us well.

Okay.. FORGET IT!! If no one wants the stupid cars, then I'm not sell'n 'em.

OH... THE CARNAGE!!! Vandals tossed tree needles all over the hood of my car sometime in the middle of the night!!

OH... THE HUMANITY!!! Vandals once again try to pull a "fast one" over on me, by placing a tree limb right under my left-rear tire on the truck. This is a common move they usually perform in grocery store parking lots with half-full beer cans... but I've wised up to their shenanigans!!

OH... THE AFTERMATH!! A kid's wiffleball. It's in MY yard... so it's MINE NOW!!! hahahahaa SUCKERS!

I'm now glad I didn't get my car washed for the past month. I would have blown $7.00 for nothing. Look... FREE CLEAN CAR!!

The winds didn't get high enough to blow these blasted pine needles off my roof. Now I'm going to have to figure out how to get my lard butt up there and do it manually. Then again, they've waited up there for over two years... so why start now?

Although the rains are light, and on/off... the clouds are running by rather quickly as the tail end of the hurricane leaves us.

Okay... quick water safety check!! Don't want any polluted flood water infecting that tap, now, do we? One quick taste.... and... EHHHHHHH CRAP!! It tastes like RAW SEWAGE!! There are small things floating in it, an it has a slightly greenish-brown color. Looks like it's A-OK -- top shelf Houston Tap Water. mmmm... mmmm... good!!!

Pugitta is pissed off that she has been woken up so early.

But NOT as pissed off as the mighty-tighty Sir Master Lee Paul, swordsman of the seven seas and basket-weaver supreme (you can tell from his self-inflicted hair cut). Again... with the hi-fives. STOP IT, PAUL... I am NOT going to hi-five you!!
