Beaverton High School Class of 1981

It's currently 5:57 a.m., and we're getting ready to pack the car to head to Memphis while Gustav comes in for a visit.  I plan to chronicle our trip and what happens here, so stay tuned for (hopefully) updates on what we're doing and what's going on here in the Gulf Coast.

I spent the whole day yesterday getting the house as ready as we can for a hurricane.  I've never boarded a window in my life, but it's amazing how quickly you can teach yourself when a category 3 storm is staring you in the face!    I think the projected path that DeWayne sent me yesterday says it all:

Thanks to a very organized wife, we have everything ready to go, and we're about to pack in all in the car.  From the news reports, I-10 is already bumper-to-bumper, so it's going to be a slow ride out of town for most of the day.  I don't know when we'll make Memphis, but hopefully it'll be sometime tonight.  Also, the alternator on my car just started acting up for the first time a couple days ago, so I really hope that doesn't crap out along the way.  We'll see.

Anyway, we plan to take pictures, so you might see some of those up soon. 

Okay, gotta start loading the car.  Stay tuned!
