Just finishing up making a bunch of cupcakes for Iain’s birthday party at school and for us to have the rest of the week. I think Iain had a good birthday today. He got to talk to everyone in the family, watched a few of his favorite movies, opened up a few presents (more tomorrow), and we went to the Museum. All in all a good birthday for a 3 year old I think.
Edouard turned out to be nothing for Pearland, and generally nothing got the region. I did see a number of accidents and a bit of flooding on the news, but it could always be worse. There seems to be a lot of complaining going on that the media over reacted. In this case part of Houston closed down, people stocked up on supplies, and for the most part it rained. I heard a number of people say that it had rained harder last week when some storms blew through. I am sure these are the same people who would have been on the news complaining about how horrible the city is for not giving enough warning had this storm intensified into a more dangerous hurricane.
