<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Everything is fine with Tareija and myself.
She's already been back to work (as of Sunday) while I'm working on getting our
property back in shape. We lost some nice oaks, but whaa whaa. I can
always plant more. Glad to know that everyone is ok.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I think postponing Defender was the
right thing to do. We have an alternate site, here in Conroe, that Gundy
has been offering up. It's about 7 acres, out in the country, and I think
the price is right. We'll look deeper into it as needed.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am wondering if the 75+ lbs of chicken that Brian
was freezing for us made it. If not, my portion of feast will be a lot
less "chickeny". Or a lot more expensive. I would be willing to cook
it up at the site this weekend if yall want (assuming the meat is still
good).</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I know that a few of you (Kief, Devin, etc)
are missing your September issue of Quoth the Raven. I apologize and
promise to send them soon. I should have sent them before the storm, but
I'm lame.</FONT></DIV>

daily.</FONT></DIV>
