    Hey guys, due to this P.O.S. hurricane situation I will be living with family in Ft. Worth for at least the next month, if not two.

    I know I have have communicated with several of you guys through this forum in the past, but I figured a little heads up was in order. Have even met a few of you that attended the French Quarter Classic in the past.

    Being that I was born in Texas, its nice to have such a great state to settle down in while my hometown is on the mend.

    If I meet up with some of you guys for a drink I might spill the beans on how us Cajun livin' folk make a killer Bloody Mary, just maybe ;)

    Wow, you guys surely have it together with the events! Great to hear. I think I might drive over to New Mexico to visit my siter and her bf(his brother is still missing in this mess) this weekend, but will be back after a few days I suppose.

    I am currently near Hulen Mall.

    Mine is still 504-236-0737
    My phone isnt working all that great, but interestingly enough I can send and receive text messages with ease. It's probably easiest to reach me through this site, being that I am online all the time doing trading related stuff(ok, I really just BS all day).

    Dave, I can't seem to find your number, shoot it over to me 'cousin'! ;)

    Welcome to Ft. Worth, John! I'm completely amazed what I'm seeing on CNBC, too sad for words. Let me know if need any help with anything or just want to get together for burgers & a beer, Ft. Worth has some of the best places.

    Cheer up John, Sept 10 is right around the corner. I believe it is a date of significance for you? There's a nice Italian car show that day, just for you.

    Joined the local chapter of the Red Cross in Ft. Worth to help out with the local shelters. If you have ANY free time I encourage you to come lend a hand.

    I am glad that these refugees are coming to the great state of Texas. Your hospitality is appreciated greatly!

    This was out of my hands. Just looking forward to getting the recovery and rebuilding train rolling full steam ahead. Given the circumstances I am one of the really lucky ones. Have great family and friends here in Texas, my work only requires an internet connection, and all of my family is safe and sound.

    Life goes on, and for that I am thankful!

    I did get a good laugh today when I opened up my glovebox only to have 2-3 N.O. parking tickets flutter out :D
