    Ok, that’s pretty fucked up. Which side are you on? I’m a hair out of Katy in a suburb up from the energy corridor and my power was back on in like 24 hours.

    I’m so sorry that shit is happening to you. You need anything? A care package?

      South East Houston outside the loop. Closer to NASA but not quite. So it was pretty well in that path. Water was ankle deep from the flooding, but didn’t make it to my place.

      And I am at peace with it at this point. Those first two nights before I jerryrigged something to get a window unit to work really were like a heat induced soul quest. Between that and raging with my fellow houstonians on X and trying to radicalize them, it’s been an interesting experience.

      I very much appreciate the offer, but there are people far worse off currently than I am. If you do feel so inclined, make a donation to a beneficial charity to help the old folks out! I’m 30. I can take it. Plenty in this city can’t.

        We are set to do a gig that helps the people who are really in trouble. The door and half the drink sales go to those folks. I don’t know the details but I trust the bar owner because I’ve known them for years. I’ve made a few donations to the Red Cross as well.

        I guess since we interact I like to see my friends taken care of. All my personal friends are currently taken care of (one is crashing in my guest room until her electricity is back). So, and please don’t take offense to this, you’re a third level friend. I want to make sure you’re alright too. So now I’ll make another donation because I don’t know who else to donate to. No one seems to be old people in Houston specifically.
