WHEW::: or maybe GLUB

Hello readers::: As you may expect, it has been a bit hectic here. Working tons of hours.. we are officially on 12X 7 days right now but the IT and logistics folk have been doing a bit more. The flooding has continued, hard to imagine for such a desert place but these have been horrendous thunderstorms that just refuse to move at all and dump huge amounts of rain. El Paso got a years rain in the last week of July if you can imagine... it has been hard on homes.. drains and bridges.. snarling traffic and looks like something over 1000 people and about 500 homes impacted. There are also related disasters taking shape in New Mexico.

Got a pretty good hotel.. a suites (Chase Suites here) and I am about 20 feet from the pool presuming we will eventually get a day off. Restaurants here are good and the Mexican food is excellent.

I am reasonably tired... the politics here are very different than Louisiana... lots more work and lots less bickering. This is a true Region 6 disaster... no people from other regions and no meddling from WAshington. Work just flows better.

More soon
