Hurricane prep, Aggie style

Hope I can tell this one without offending anyone (although it is meant to offend everyone, HA! )
The new Houston, TX evacuation plan: Cajuns use I-10 east to Louisiana. Hispanics use I-10 west to San Antonio. Rednecks (me) use U.S. 59 north to east Texas. Liberals use I-45 south to Galveston. Conservatives use I-45 north to Dallas. University of Texas Longhorns use U.S. 290 northwest to Austin Texas A&M Aggies use Loop 610! My 77 year old (Aggie) Daddy woke me up yesterday at 6:00 a.m. to tell me that one! tom |

There's a good reason for it being done that way. See here: http://www.snopes.com/katrina/photos/aggie.asp The pertinent quote from the Snopes article is below.
I will admit, however, that it's pretty dang hilarious. Quote:

Jamey,
Makes me feel better about our beloved Aggies. A&M is short for Agriculture and MECHANICAL! Still, I can't find anything on SNOPES that will keep the Houston based Aggies off of Loop 610 during the next evacuation! Dangit! BTW, it's not plywood. It's OSB, oriented strand board. An Aggie woulds known that. tom Last edited by tomthbomb; 09-29-2005 at 06:56 PM. |

I'm in that photo.
Bet you don't recognize me without the goggles! Houston dodged the bullet with Hurricane Rita but there was some storm damage reported: __________________ Tom Welch RKS #4868 NRA & TSRA Life Member Deep East Texas Life Resident (so far) Last edited by tomthbomb; 07-20-2007 at 07:48 PM. |

Gary,
I am east and north of Houston. What is the IMS show and what is the date? BTW, what is code of the west #1? Hope I won't get shot for not already knowing it! __________________ Tom Welch RKS #4868 NRA & TSRA Life Member Deep East Texas Life Resident (so far) Last edited by tomthbomb; 10-01-2005 at 06:56 PM. |

I wouldn't mind meeting you while in Houston, given the chance. -gary __________________ "If some, among you, fear taking a stand because you are afraid of reprisals...recognize that you are just feeding the crocodile hoping he'll eat you last." - Ronald Reagan Last edited by Raindog; 10-02-2005 at 10:26 AM. |

Be sure to check out the HD store in The Woodlands. Pretty upscale place for a Harley.
