    Mine is also type two. God only knows where THAT came from... in our family beef is king. Along with dumplings etc. Usually we develop a clot and drop one day chomping on the meal. Or perhaps drop when the body gets too old to do anything right.

    Sun was out today in Houston but that was very little comfort.Water just keeps rising is areas.Parts of it looks like the ocean.Then CNN interviewed the brother in law of the family that parished in their mini van.

    I left Shreveport today, headed back to OKC. The TA had a dozen flatbeds with generators, waiting for the green light to go to Houston. Another dozen parking spots were coned off for more relief loads.

    My brother had an observation after his foray delivering that mobile kitchen in south Houston. He noticed that none of the toll roads were flooded, at least where he went. NOBODY was on them. They were deserted. Meanwhile it was a cluster on the regular highways and streets with numerous closures for flooding. Why don't they lift the tolls on the toll roads during emergencies? It would take a lot of pressure off the regular roads and enhance safety.

    Also, can somebody advise the HOS regulations that cover working disaster relief? I thought there was some kind of suspension of certain requirements.
