It would be remiss of me to not mention the arrival of hurricane Ike and the impact that it will have in College Station. Ike hit College Station sometime in the wee hours of the morning, and has since escalated into lots of wind and rain aplenty. In fact, the wind and the rain are so intense, or at least were forecasted to be, that the powers that be in my corporate office decided that it would be in the best interest of the company and the employees to close our office Saturday and Sunday!! Please guess who would’ve been having to work both of those days. Yes, that would be me. So, needless to say, let me give a little shout out to hurricane Ike for forcing my office to close.
