Hurricane Rita

My mom has taken a lot of good natured ribbing from her friends and children this week. It's because she shares the same name as the new hurricane that is tearing through the Gulf of Mexico. And the storm made it to a category 5. We joked with my mother saying that she's sitting in the gulf trying to figure out who pissed her off more and whose a** she's going to kick. If the storm is anything like my mother when she is protecting her children or someone has wronged her, my advice for everyone in its path is to run for the hills because it ain't going to be nothing nice.

My prayer are with my family, friends, and the citizens of Texas, Louisiana, and Mississippi.

Murphy's Law

Murphy's Law never fails. Example...Its the first day you are to report to your new job as a contract worker. Its 5:20 am and you are in your car getting ready to leave. You shift into drive and lo and behold, your car will not shift from first gear into second gears. Now that is Murphy's Law.
