<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I won't be at Defender this weekend as I will be at a convention in Dallas, but I have a couple of tidbits for those of you still trekking out to Canton.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">First, the National Weather Service this morning on WBAP announced the possibility that Hurricane Rita could survive as a minimal Category One hurricane as far north as the Dallas Fort Worth Metroplex. I stress that the report said it was only a "possibility" - not a "likelihood."</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Second, as a back up plan for those planning to camp at Defender, discount coupons are available for the Luxury Suites and the Best Western in Canton. Go to </FONT><A HREF="file://www.roomsaver.com"><U><FONT COLOR="#0000FF" SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">www.roomsaver.com</FONT></U></A><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial"> and you can print the coupons on line. That way, if you do have to abandon camp, you can retreat to a motel room for a reduced rate. Those who have computers can print off extra coupons for those who don't.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Everyone travel safe, have fun - and stay dry!</FONT>
