They get loose to often this time of year. And just when things start to settle down another one gets born. The worst thing about them for people who have never experienced them is the amount of work they create that you never get paid for. The more building and fence lines you have the more work you end up with. Not sure they going to get that much rain for their crop being that far away and being on the west side of the storm. -- RODEO RAMBLINGS

At least it's creating some good watching. Geraldo Rivera got his legs swept out from under him by a wave of water while he was reporting. Gave him a dunking. On a more serious note, I heard them telling the ones that haven't left the worst area in Galvaston to write their ID on their arm with a magic marler so they can identify them later on. Could be a last minute scare tactic to get them moving out of there. (NT) -- Hap, 13:42:38 09/12/08 Fri
