Hurricane Ike

I got power at 7 pm tonight. My store in DT Orange has been in my family since 1928 and I had been told it has never had water in it..... BUT it had 3ft in it this time. We helped rescue people and animals in BC the first day while waiting for the water to go down. In the last 3 days we have worked our butts off to get it back to being a business again. I would like to thank Todd Trawhon( Silsbee Baseball Coach) and Charlie Piper (I coach his daughter) and ALL the friends, employees and customers who have helped us get our lives back together. We will open tommorrow limited while we still clean and straighten up. Hope we can get back on the SB field real soon. Thanks for all the support and remember to help someone cause you never know when you may need some help.

Need any help, call me.  You know I am an old retired dude not doing nothing.

Went out to Bridge City today. Hard to see the heartbreak in peoples faces.

Been in BC for last 4 days.........Not a good situation.  My parents had 3 foot in their house.  They have been somewhat lucky.  I had a contractor called and ready to go to work on Wednesday morning.  Like JT said, there are a lot of people that have a long way to go and don't know where to start. 

Like I said in another post somewhere........if you are bored there are people in BC that need help tearing out sheet rock, moving wet furniture, or just packing what is left of their belongings.  Just show up in BC and stop and ask. I am sure you want be turned away!

Thanks PAPA but we hope to be open on Monday. It may look like crap but we are going to open.

Really hate to hear about our friends in BC. My wife has been helping Kendall's pitching coach, Chuck Theriot, tear out sheetrock for two days. They got 7 foot of water in their house and lost everything. Ike took it a lot easier on us than Rita and Humberto. I can relate to what everyone is going through. Got word today that we probably won't have electricity until the first week in October. That is nothing compared to losing your home. May God bless.

The word at church this morning (in the parking lot) is there are 14 homes inside the Bridge City city limits that DID NOT get water.  That's out of a population of just below 9,000.

There are quiet a few homes out side the city limits but within the school district lines that did not water, but no more than about 40 or so, as far as I know.

And while it breaks my heart to drive down every street and see the destruction, I am also proud to see the work going on at nearly home - Nobody is waiting with a hand outstrectched - we are working to put this town back together.

And let me also add a THANK YOU to the Orangefield ISD and community for the help they have bestowed on us - In the spirit of neighbors and friends!

    • That TDS is really flaring. Now do Biden. You have way, way, way more material. And keep that bitter "you are better than me" jealousy tone you have with Trump. You know Biden, the one you want everyone to vote for instead of Trump. Somehow you didn't acknowledge my pleas for you to die a painful death. I was quite certain that is how you would have interpreted my previous post. I guess when your focus is Trump 24/7, nothing else matters.
    • I have a better one. The point that nobody wants to acknowledge is that Dems are crossing over to vote Trump in the primaries and in the general so he will win the presidency. That way Trump will get the blame when the Dems implement their sinister plan to deport all of the minorities in the country. They have already laid the groundwork...convincing everyone that Trump and Republicans are racist (without providing any proof). Then it will be just a matter of time to execute their White supremacy plan of the great purge of the dirty, unwashed, heathen, non-Whites that roam freely in this country. I think my theory is more viable than your theory. Maybe we can get some other ridiculous scenarios so we can start a poll.
    • But that’s what Trump’s fanboys don’t understand.  When he talked about sexually assaulting women, y’all laughed it off as “locker room talk.”  When it was proven that he raped E. Jean Carroll, you cried that it was all an injustice… a lie. Even though he’d already confessed to doing the same thing to other women.  John McCain has suffered and sacrificed more for his country than practically anybody, except possible gold star families… and Trump called him a loser or something to that effect. “Oh, it was a joke that no one was supposed to take seriously.” But when Trump, after disrespecting the sacrifices of one of our most valiant, y’all are like “just because Trump didn’t go to Omaha Beach doesn’t mean he isn’t pro military!” Really? All you have to do is listen to what he said about McCain’s service. Not McCain as an opponent, not McCain’s political views… about the fact that the man was tortured, probably raped, and who knows what all else for over five years for swearing an oath and putting on the uniform.  But all of y’all supposedly “pro military” people just laughed along with Trump. “Good one, Sir! Maverick my new-hind! Filthy Rino!”  I don’t understand how the same people (y’all) who probably always say “thank you for your service” to any veteran still support a guy who craps on the ones who suffered the most on our behalf.  It’s baffling. 
    • Wow. Do you actually believe your little scenario has any chance of alleviating you of your moral immaturity? Deflection at it's best...or worse. You seem to be a sad case. If you died today, I would be remiss if not attributing your cause of death to severe TDS, and of course, Covid. Look at that. I just made a joke about your death. You did not get offended. Nobody was offended. Not one person will accuse me of being hateful towards fellow human beings. But yet, you hate Trump because he made a similar crude comment about McCain. You tried to attribute that comment as evidence Trump hates the military. What grade level of schoolchildren do you think is laughing at you for that "less that adolescent" (hint, hint) comment. You used one crude comment in an attempt to justify your TDS. Now, when called on it, you try to deflect the whole topic. You are certainly not having any fun with this, but you sure are providing entertainment for the board. It's a shame you can't join in on the fun. I think even Big Girl might be to the point of giggling at the shamelessness you are exhibiting.
    • It’s actually sad that he’s so in your head that you continually create these stupid analogies.
