complete depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline

I’m in Weimar taking care of our cattle before this blows in. I’m about to be right on the edge of the big line and it is DARK off to my West.

... and they laughed at me for driving ... ;) There are far worse places to be stuck. (As long as you’re still on the island.)
It’s dry so far up here 13mi from Hobby as of 10:15am. Obviously that’s about to change.
It was great to see you guys!!

Good visiting with you too Brooks. Bill Read is driving back now through this mess since our flight was cancelled. Most everyone still here are on the Island experiencing some CG and very chilly gales with the cold air behind the MCV.
