The weather was lovely here today, although it should be getting chillier tomorrow.

72* and sunny. Its perfect out... a light breeze and cool in the shade.

mid-to-hi 70's and sunny today.

Which sucks, when you work Saturdays.

Bummer, Mikey.

More thunderstorms and tornadoes here today.

Well, compared to that I guess I'll take working on a nice day.

Hopefully your area is OK.

Yeah, thankfully, we're missing the majority of it down here in Sugar Land, but Houston proper is taking a beating.

Did Houston piss off G-d the last couple of years, or something?

Maybe it's all the strip clubs and swinger bars.

Either that, or the sh*tload of churches.

When you're a town named after a guy named Sam... you're bound to have trouble.

Who's your city named after, exactly?

Houston, wasn't the guy's first name Sam?

Yeah, and I'm wondering who Arnold, Maryland is named for.

Probably a guy with two first names.

We're named for a town in southern England I believe. Not sure where they got the name from.
