just a little random finger-drumming....

My adopted baby brother lives in Houston.... >.<



Actually, he's currently renting a house in a little place called Kemah, which is approximately 30 meters from the water of Galveston Bay. At this moment - I *hope* - he and the dog are about at the Oklahoma state line. He may not stop until he hits Canada. Meanwhile, his partner, who is a govt cop, is hunkering down at the office in Houston.

I've chewed my talons down to the vein, and I know the boy has quite a bit of brain on him, but mother of god - a catagory *5*! Heading straight for Galveston! The worst disaster in American history happened in 1900 when another great mothering hurricane hit Galveson and took the city right down to the sand and killed between 6000 and 12000 people. *paces the hallway, switching tail madly*

I walk into the house, turn on the TV to check the weather and find... a sick Airbus circling LA. O.O; WTF?! Did I turn left into the Twilight Zone?!

So, I spend two and a half hours watching a crippled plane flying low and slow; gear down, flaps down to burn off as much fuel as possible. And then held my breath when they crossed the threshold on 25 left and watched that baby glide, as smooth as oiled silk, straight down the middle of the runway to a picture perfect landing. YAY!!!

Someone PLEASE buy that pilot a vente Starbucks. Every day for the rest of his life. ^__^ Beautiful, dude! I want to fly with him the next time they force my scaly purple butt onto an aircraft. I wonder if Jet Blue flies to Baltimore.... o.o

Like I said, just some random energy venting.... The bro won't be calling until at least tomorrow morning. *gnaws on last talon*

I have a feeling that cell service back there is problematic right now. Still haven't heard. I just hope he left when he said he would, and got out before the gridlock took hold. -_-

Don't suppose you could get hold of the SO? He'd at least know when he left. You could at least have the SO deliver a smack to the back of the head to insensitive 'siblings'. *snerk*
