Batten Down the Hatches

Ah, Alex is the first named storm in the Atlantic of this year's hurricane season.   Alex is anticipated to be heading towards Mexico, but is a large storm that will be influencing a large area of the Gulf of Mexico, and much of Texas.

While not heading towards the area of the oil spill,  Alex will have a definite impact on the recovery efforts, and delay them.  Who knows what impact it will have on the wildlife already impacted by the spill.

And, I am hoping, West Texas will get some rain, although if we do, it may happen over the holiday weekend.  Well, if that is the case, I have plenty of good books to read, and will be able to Batten Down the Hatches and ride out the storm....
