Texas Again

This past week I went back to Texas for work. It was an amazing visit. At the same time, I can't believe how much damage there still is from Hurricane Ike as well as how much has been done since my last visit. Unlike Hurricane Katrina, media coverage and national awareness has pretty much ended for this natural disaster. However, the communities there still have a lot of work to do to rebuild.







Some of my gracious hosts while there took us to "Gator Country", where we had to walk over a gator pit to get to our restaurant.



I returned from my trip to find that my housemates had procured the stage kit for Rock Band, complete with fog machine and lights. It was hilarious. You can hardly see them through the haze, and we could hardly see the notes to play.



Completely unaware of it's strength, we had the fog machine on a shelf, pointed straight at me. The first blast blew right into my face, completely obscuring all visibility. As you can tell from the picture, we're still fine tuning its use.
