Here comes the new drama:
Hurricane Rita is following Katrina's path.
Hurragh.
Who reaches my home first- Rita, or State Farm adjuster Floyd Ellis?
If my house gets totaled by Rita, do I win or lose? I rate this as a virtually impossible but technically likely, since the magnolia tree could still come down on my house. If the live oak was going to come down on my house, it would've under Katrina.
I bought a tarp today to place over my shattered front chimney, for the rain that will definitely come on Rita's heels, wherever that bitch passes us. 10' by 16' should be plenty big enough to secure a chimney opening that's 2' by 3'.
And I'm in the process of switching my light bulbs over to fluorescent coils. Normally I hate fluorescent bulbs, but these are dynamite. They last five years, and operate at a quarter of the wattage of the conventional bulbs they replace. They generate less heat, as well. I have two in my front porch ceiling fan, one in each bathroom overhead light, one in the ceiling fan in the computer room, and my tv room ceiling fans are full up on them as well. Today I replace the lightbulbs in my bedroom ceiling fan, and that will make it the most used lights in the house completely replaced by fluorescent bulbs.
That will make it
