Mandatory Evacuation called for my area ahead of Hurricane Harvey + sad news



I live 6 miles out of town and the whole county, plus the next county south and the next county north ALL have Mandatory Evacuations ordered.


Just one problem.  We sold our property in Poteet, so now we no longer have a place to evacuate TO.

Also when we sold the property in Poteet, mom and my cousin also sold the RV which is what we normally would use to carry everyone plus the animals to evacuate.

Soooooo, my sons are going to my mothers house, I'm sending their mother my ex-wife with them.  I told my youngest daughter to grab her fiance and their dog and to bug out to San Antonio TONIGHT to his mother's house.

My eldest daughter and her fiance are stuck in Corpus Christi, he because he is security at one of the colleges and she because she works for the state at a treatment center/halfway house.  Neither of them is allowed to evacuate because of their jobs until and unless

Because of all the phone lines being tied up my phone didn't ring with news of my friend John.  However it suddenly popped up that I had a voice mail. 

It was from John's brother. 

They did CPR for over 15 minutes, gave him injections of adrenaline into his heart, but they couldn't get him to come back.


Storm Warning - Hurricane Harvey In Bound

Well there won't be much posting from me for the next few days.  TS/Hurricane Harvey is bearing down directly on my Area of Operations/AO.

 Plus I just got off the phone with the hospital, my friend and neighbor John is in the ICU.  He found out two months ago he had cancer, the big C, and went in last week for a biopsy.  The cancer has spread throughout most of his body and his kidneys started shutting down.

So after getting off the phone with the Nurse, I called his brother in California and left a message.  Then the Dr called me and I gave her the phone number as well.

John listed me as his emergency contact and he and I had discussed his giving me a Power of Attorney, but he evidently never got around to it.

I'm asking that you keep him in your prayers.

He served in the US Coast Guard before Vietnam, he was a helicopter crewchief and he spent over a year on an ice breaker. 

I'm praying he makes it just a few more months.  He always liked how my kids and I prepared him his own plate for Thanksgiving and Christmas.  I'd like to prepare him at least one more.

Please keep him in your prayers.

His is in the North Bay Hospital In Aransas Pass, Texas.  His name for your prayers is John Stotesbury

While doing an archive dive at DataChasers - Freedom from Consequences

I ran into the following, which I think shows quite clearly what has happened to our society.


Too many people think they are free from the consequences of their actions.  And that is what we need to correct if our society is to get back on it's proper track.

According to this I"m a Mediator Type personality

Mediator personalities are true idealists, always looking for the hint of good in even the worst of people and events, searching for ways to make things better. While they may be perceived as calm, reserved, or even shy, Mediators have an inner flame and passion that can truly shine. Comprising just 4% of the population, the risk of feeling misunderstood is unfortunately high for the Mediator personality type – but when they find like-minded people to spend their time with, the harmony they feel will be a fountain of joy and inspiration.
