Hurricane Ike came and left his trail of tears behind. Neighborhoods look like bombs were dropped on them, hitting only the trees and fences, leaving the buildings intact. Fortunately I don’t need power to juggle, as long as the sun is up. The down side to no power, besides throwing all your food away because you can’t keep it cold, is the oppressive Texas heat. For that reason, juggling is at a minimum, since there’s no convenient way to cool off from physical activity. There were a scant few businesses open yesterday, and I found an IHOP open on the far outside edge of the ‘burbs. They had a limited Ike menu of eggs, pancakes, bacon, sausage, cheeseburgers, fries, and onion rings. We ate all of the above. That’s the one time I can say I’ve gone to IHOP and eaten everything on the menu!
