I never expected a hurricane to effect my vacation from this end. Sure I've been watch hurricane path and progress, but with a focus on Florida. But now, we are sheduled to fly out of Kansas City tomorrow (Sunday) morning at 8:15, just as Ike is tracked to be crossing Missouri. If it maintains it's projected course, it'll be over the southern part of the state, but if it wanders a little north, it'll be here just about as we're supposed to leave. Amazing.

However, my worries about a delayed departure are trivial compared to what the folks in Texas are facing. They're going to need a lot of help.
