Katy, Thursday August 31, 2017, 3:00 AM

Yesterday (Wednesday) was a busy day for us.  Ann and Sarah went shopping and came back with a pile of groceries purchased at H-E-B, our local supermarket chain.  They report that the meat department is just getting organized, and that many items are not in stock.  

Robbie, the boys, and I went for a walk limited to sidewalk only (I have difficulty walking on uneven surfaces so we stayed on sidewalk ... artifact of my titanium knee).

I went out looking for a new copy of the DeLorme Atlas and Gazetteer for Texas ... I figured Academy would certainly stock it.  No such luck.  Academy doesn't even stock Texas state maps!  Counter guy says everybody uses GPS now.  Ok, fine.  But GPS doesn't work when numerous streets and closed due to flooding.

Clint went to work for a few hours ... first time his company has been open since Harvey hit.

Sarah's employer -- the Alley Theater -- is all but shut down due to flooding ... entire lower level, including one of the performance spaces, is flooded.

Sarah prepared a wonderful dinner involving shrimp and pineapple. 

And we all watched a lot of television ... mostly hurricane coverage or kid cartoons.  Cable service package doesn't include MSNBC -- I miss Morning Joe!
