Rita missed up completely. Not so much as a drop of rain. The big worry now is are the sprinklers getting enough water to the lawn... I guess back to normal.
The wind is a gusty this morning. It looks like the majority of Rita is going to be east of us. K parrents in Houston are safe and sound. They have only lost power once and that was only a short time. Every we are checking on is safe.
First, I am ok. Second, I got rear ended on 635 last night. This is the first notable accident involving another car I have had. It was about 10:40 and I was approaching the high-5 that of course means there was traffic. Everyone was stopped on the ramp to 75-north. I was slowing down with a couple of car lengths between me and the guy in fount of me, when a BMW (big surprise) dove into the gap. The guy in front of him hit his breaks. I hit mine. God praise antilock breaks, I did not hit him. Well that was until the cab hit me.
One of those blue Ambassador minivan cabs. I heard him hit his breaks. With me paying attention to the BMW, I did not see him hit me. There was a lot of dust. Latter I would see why. The trailer hitch on my car was bent up into the cargo compartment, knocking 5 years of Faire dirt and black rock sand free from it home in the carpet.
The cab driver was insured. His name was Mohamed, a cab driver named Mohamed, what are the odds? Now I get to go though the whole getting the car fix thing.
Back to what I call my-rule, I do not care how much stuff you break as long as you’re ok. Things can be repaired or replaced. I was very happy to go home to my wife. It took me longer then usual to stop watching her fall asleep and turn off the light. If things had been more serious I would have missed her. I was glad to be home.
With all the news about hurricanes, I know some of you are worried about us here in Dallas. Rita will be hitting the Houston area this weekend. Dallas is several hours away. We are safe from the heavy winds and waves of the hurricane. The big worry here is tornadoes that hurricanes tend to spawn as they die out over land. We are prepared and will keep you all posted.
Our major worry is for those loved ones who are in Houston. They are ready to go if things look bad and we have offered them shelter. Again I will keep you posted. Stay safe out there this weekend.
My father and step Mom celebrated 23 years of marriage yesterday. I am in awe. I was 14 when they got married. The terms Microsoft, cell phones and the Internet meant little to anyone. Cable TV was new. I think about my life right now, it is very hard to imagine 23 years from now. Please keep in mind I can not imagine a future without K, but you have to be in awe of it. Thinking back on the things they have gone though, it amazes me. Sons always live in wonder of their fathers. In this case, I stand in wonder of the strength of their relationship. This is the best thing my father has ever done in my eyes.
We have a rough cut of Complicated. This is my short we have been filming. It is a very exciting moment for me. Darkside girl did a great job. She covered up numerous major things we missed. As I watched it for the first time last night I got a chill. It was very neat.
I still have a great deal of work to do in post-production. It needs credits, music and background sounds like foot steps. There are still about 100 things I would like to do. At some point other people will have to see it.
