Hurricane Rita

Southern Texas is in for a beating this weekend.

You may not know this, but I was born in San Antonio, Texas. If you look on the map of the hurricane path you will see a red star right at the edge of the projected path of the hurricane. That's San Antonio. You may also notice a second red star up in the left-hand corner; that's Fort Collins, CO -- where I live. And finally, you may notice a red arrow pointing to San Antonio part way between Fort Collins and San Antonio. That is where my plane is scheduled to be this Saturday around 9PM CST en route to San Antonio.

That means that if my flight has not been cancelled, I will be hitting San Antonio about the same time as Hurricane Rita.

Awesome. :P
