If the creek don't rise, if the levee don't break ...

... I'll be heading out Friday to visit some water-logged in-laws in the Texas Hill Country. Marble Falls -- along the way to Fredericksburg where we're going -- got 19 inches of rain the other night, the most on record.

So whatever happens -- we make it, we disappear in a flash flood, we get damper than we already are -- book/daddy won't be posting for a few days. Just to give you an idea of how this goes: The trip sounds dicey right now, but hey, parts of Dallas are preparing evacuation and the Irving sewage plant has backed up, so staying home isn't going to be a piece of (dry) cake, either.
