lavandarlizard2For anyone who is interested, I'm forced to admit that my adored brother is as big an idiot as any other male. He told me he was leaving at 1000 on Wednesday. >.< They finally got on the road at MIDNIGHT. All those TV news shots of the traffic jam from hell? He was in it. In the Miata. *sigh* I love him to death, but WTF?!
Since the Feds evacuated also, his SO was able to go with. He wanted to head for Corpus Christi, but bro insisted on Louisiana. Road jammed heading east. They went to Austin. No rooms. They went to San Antonio. No rooms. They went to - wait for it - Corpus Christi. Finally found a room. 39 hours on the road and they ended up in Corpus Christi anyway. They were going to stay for a couple of days, until the SO got the call to come back. Supposedly, the town where they live wasn't hit very hard, but you know how rumors go. I promised to give him until Wednesday or Thursday before I call and yell again.
Men are just nuts.
And on a completely unrelated note... ^__^
Ii Kibarashi – Part 35 – Rowdy’s Job
Tiffany came through the door from the stairs smirking and shaking her head in amusement.
“Trowa, you’ve a visitor downstairs.”
The Were-Puma looked up, blinking. “I do?” He seldom had visitors at the office. Catherine took one look at those slippery, winding stairs and declared that she would see her baby brother at home. “Who is it?” He got to his feet and headed for the doorway.
“Your cousin.”
Trowa stopped. “Rowdy?”
“Yep. He’s charming the pants off the boys and girls downstairs.”
“What the hell is he doing *here*?” growled Wufei. “I thought he had court today.”
“He did,” muttered Trowa, hurrying out.
“Court?” said Inazuma. “What kind of court?”
“You remember when the idiot caught a bunch of Mr Okamura’s prize koi? That court.” Wufei huffed indignantly. “He was appearing in Superior Court on a charge of Grand Theft Fish. What the hell is he doing here now?”
Inazuma blinked. “He got *arrested*?!” he squawked in astonishment.
“Trowa and I turned him in. He was supposed to go before a judge today for sentencing.”
“For catching some *fish*?!”
Wufei rolled his eyes in exasperation. “What part of ‘Mr Okamura’s prize koi’ did you not get, Elf? Those fish were worth almost $7000 *each*.”
Inazuma’s jaw dropped.
“Heh,” snorted Tiffany. “Most expensive meal you’ve ever had; right, Wufei?”
“Certainly the most embarrassing,” he muttered. “Damn cat.”
Laughter announced Trowa and Rowdy’s return, and the lean chestnut Were-Puma bounded into the room, following by a smiling Trowa.
“Hi Wufei!” Rowdy cried and loped over to throw his front legs around the startled Were-Dragon.
“What are you so happy about?” he growled. “You’re not on the lam, are you?”
Rowdy just laughed, and Trowa answered for him.
“He got probation, Wufei.”
“Yeah! I have to work off the cost of the fish, but I’ve got a job and a place to stay and pocket money!”
Wufei wormed his way out of Rowdy’s embrace. “Who in their right mind would hire *you*?”
“Mr Okamura!”
Wufei’s jaw dropped.

Date: 2005-09-29 01:43 am (UTC)Since Trowa goes through a puma-ish stage, does that mean he's got a giant litter box? I think it'd be a little hard to use the potty like a human when you're on four legs. Not like a cat that can balance on the ledge. He's too big.
