Robert Downs. You okay?

I've been thinking of you the last few days, and then just saw your post from yesterday. How are things going? Jesse.

I have been worried about Robert also...

How are you doing Robert?

We're fine. Since the city finally finished rebuilding the streets in our subdivision and adding storm drains, our part of Spring Branch pretty much doesn't flood. During the worst of it Saturday and Sunday we'd get a down pour for a couple of hours and the water would gradually come up in the streets to maybe a little higher than the curbs. Then we'd have about another two hours of drizzle during which it would all drain off. And repeat. I had my standby generator ready but we never lost power. Which was a first.
