Good Evening everyone,

My report from Houston is the sky is clear.  Earlier the bands of clouds came and now are gone, so the storm is not too far behind.

Most of my hurricanes have been spent in AL, or typhoons on Guam.  I have joked about opening a white water rafting resort, Grand Opening Saturday.  I actually had a few friends today ask me if I was still going to open the Resort with the storm coming.  I then had to tell them the  opening is the storm as I live 100 yeards or so from a huge bayou.

I have to tell you something I did in Court.  Last week I had a hearing / trial to try to save a familes home.  It was foreclosed on, problem is the family was paying their mortgage.  I went for a TRO from a higher court this week and the other attorney helping me and I got a TRO (Temporary Restraining Order).  This is the 1st time in 3 weeks I have seen that family smile.

No other attorney would help these people, as they do not have very much money.  We have 2 -4 more hearings and trials to get their home back, but I am trying.

Legal work is All office work.  To spice up, this work, I am also getting some Vietnam Vets in to the office, who stated they can and will do bad things to VA people.  I unfortunately do not tell them they can barely move, and they (nor me) am 21 and in the jungle.  I told one Veteran I did not do criminal defense, and he had better knock it off or I would not be helping him.  He boasted once more and I had to tell him a story.  It got him to actually listen.  As he stated, I actually knew what it was like.

I assume by tomorrow night it will be bad here, so I better go, just wanted to tell everyone hello, and that I enjoy reading the article, I am just swamped trying to get my firm up and running and handle cases, so I apologize for being lax on the articles writing.  I actually have a free night thanks to Ike, and I will get my plants in tomorrow and hope the apartmant and van survive.

Wishing all of you a great week, and rest of September.

God Bless all of you on this day, Bob
