Storm Bomb - Hunterwayit

Sandra Clayton, down on the Texas Coast just went through a good deal of rain with Hurricane Dolly. She might get you a good price on floaties. You guys are in the middle of your winter, right? It must be tough.

Yup it's winter here just had our shortest day of the year a few weeks ago. It's starting to get crazy here wind has picked up, heard of bit of thunder before. I have made my room a calming room for Chip hehe TV on bed all messy cause I haven't been able to make it my baby girl Tink(cat) hasn't got up yet expect for breakfast. So Chip has been chilling on the bed or coming a laying in front of the tv in the lounge.

It's meant to be getting worse & worse as the day progresses. Had to go see my parents this morning on the motorway the road was completely covered in water couldn't even see the road markings, my little truck just about got wings hehe. Then on my way home who do I see at the end of the street fire engines dealing with flooding hehe.

Interesting don't plan on going anywhere now, all my chores are done we are getting settled in for the storm

I recently got to meet another kiwi. He owns the company from whom we're renting storage containers. I believe he said he was from the North Island. He mentioned a couple of mean bars to stay out of. We talked about the Maori and Tongans (referencing things I read in a story, once. My favorite author, Heinlein, had a character called Friday who lived for a while in Christchurch. The family she married into evidently had a problem with them. Which was totally alien to the Friday, who was a true heinz 57 of ethnicities. Friday was a genetically engineered human with ancestors who were white, black, american native and asian. She had a tanned skin tone with blonde hair. But I digress.)

I guess he came here for different business opportunities. From Heinlein and other's description, including another NZ guy I knew years ago, it seems to be paradise down there and I can only imagine a good reason for giving it up.

ETA:

I almost forgot, one of my college mates from 1984. She was also from New Zealand and I just loved her accent, a sort of sing-song lilt. A crazy sense of humor, too.
