T does a Brave Sir Robin

T just phoned to tell us that Brazoria County is under a mandatory evac order and “I’ll be home in the middle of the night tonight.”  Which is good.  I think getting the hell away from the coast, along about now, is just a fine idea.  Which ain’t to mention that if we do get the weather that may come (potential for winds gusting to 110 km/h and heavy rain), we may need all the help here we can get.  Our black walnut almost went over during the last bad storm—the only thing that prevented it was the major root that’s grown under the front sidewalk, and even so it heaved the sidewalk badly.  If it falls, it’s going to go right into the 68kV distribution line that runs next to the house.
