The Qualcom went off early this morning advising drivers to avoid the Gulf Coast areas, especially along Texas and Louisiana. I'm not due to be in San Antonio until Thursday. Mrs. Grumpy, in Florida, is telling me that today it is difficult to place cell calls to the Panhandle. Inside Shoemaker's truck stop, the buzz, the night before, was about Obama, the next morning it was McCain's VP pick and last night it was all Gustuv and Ivan. It should be an interesting week, especially as the RNC convention begins Monday in St. Paul.
