Today, I was up in Bandera County and the city of Bandera where we opened up a Service Center to process any needs for the clients. We give them immediate needs such as groceries, clothing, tools, medications and any other immediate need. We also work on starting the long-term recovery process. While in Bandera I was able to see first hand what the flood as done to these people. Although very small in comparison to other counties it was still a very moving experience. As of tonight we are starting to evacuate Corpus Cristi as the floods are moving down the rivers towards that community. We also have a possible tropical storm brewing in the gulf to make things even more interesting. Weather is still hot and humid. Reminds me a lot of Florida. Logistics is being very good about making sure we always have water and snacks available for us to stay refreshed.

Well work today was hot as usual. Not as busy as expected but the lake feels like a bath tub. Tonight my brother and his friend Dan went ot see MIB II. That was pretty good despite never seeing the first one. Also, added some new looks to my websites. Changed from a grey to a more aqua-like feel by moving ot a blue color scheme.
Happy 4th of July to all of my readers in the United States. Today was a great day at the beach. Very enjoyable with a steady stream of people going in and out enjoying the holiday they had from work. Temps are just right and the water couldn’t be better. On the way home I stopped by grandma and grandpa’s place to get some dinner and visit grandpa while he was home from the ospital after recovering from 2 strokes after his ope ehart surgery. All is looking good now. So have a good Independence Day!
