[Texascavers] Sort of Houston related
This is mostly a correction to my post 48 hours ago. Rainstorm Imelda hung around, ( as forecasters warned was possible ), but only dropped about 8 inches of rain inside the city limits of Houston. Surprisingly some specific low spots that always flood, had severe to extreme flooding and caught a lot of people by surprise ( even though they had 4 days of warning ). A majority of people probably missed work today.So many people in southeast Texas ( thousands ?? ) do not have a high enough IQ to understand the term "flash flood." I almost got caught in this one, as it was so hard to skip work, but I sheltered in place. On a totally different note, I was driving yesterday in a part of Houston that I had not been in 23 years. It was where my caving friend, Charles Haskett, had fallen out of a tree.The old run-down neighborhood had many new homes and the tree was gone. Also, in other news An old caving acquaintance whom I very deeply admired, Victoria Arbizu-Sabater, has returned to live in Spain. GHG old-timer, Mike Connolly is still trying to get healthy. I have survived 5 weeks renting a room from my Craigslist roomlord. On another topic, I do not know if I met Lee White at the past NSS Conventions, but he sounded like someone who I admired. 2019 has been a difficult year for the caving community. Another rant, It is going to be interesting next week to see how many of the newly developed areas flooded ( ones retardedly built after Tropical Storm Harvey ). I say storm, because Hurricane Harvey never hit Houston proper. Why are Houston school buses and gov't vehicles here not better at handling high water ? But more importantly, why do officials park them in low-lying areas to purposely let them flood ? Also, All the caving discussions are clearly on Facebook now. ___ Texascavers mailing list | http://texascavers.com Texascavers@texascavers.com | Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/texascavers@texascavers.com/ http://lists.texascavers.com/listinfo/texascavers

>From David Locklear ***Please hit delete button now*** I have been completely out of touch with cavers in my region for over 8 years. I have no idea who the active cavers are or what they are up to. I normally can not commit to anything whatsoever. I always have to do short spur-of-the moment road-trips on my own and usually leave on Sunday - be back Monday night late. As of now, Thursday night, the 14th, I do not yet have to be back in Houston until Sunday night, but would prefer to be back Sunday around lunchtime. I am just not set up to drive more than 4 hours alone. I easily get drowsy while driving especially after 2 a.m. on dark stretches of rural road. Unfortunately, I can predict or guestimate that a client will call me tomorrow afternoon with some totally ludicrous task that pays peanuts. And that task will require me to work Friday night very late, possibly way past midnight. But I can't turn down the income, as I have no other means of support. Sort of like, when you are going over Niagara Falls, it is safer to be inside a barrel. Right ?? D.L.

>From David Locklear ( hit delete button now, please ) Normally, by mid-December, my business is dead as a door-nail. But due to Hurricane Harvey, there is a tremendous backlog in the work that I do, and I am currently swamped.I could possibly hire a caver in Houston to do a delivery for me - maybe several between now and the first week of January.The delivery would involve driving 50 miles and putting up with some ridiculous bureaucracy, and the receiver of the delivery would likely not be happy to see you, and might have to be delivered on Christmas Eve, or Christmas Day or NYE or New Year's Day. The pay is somewhere between peanuts with sea-salt and honey-roasted peanuts, and might not even cover your gas. On a similar note, I urgently need to find a good roommate. I have a sweet apartment now, but there is no place to park a car. I will be celebrating Festivus on Dec. 23rd at my apartment, and should have ice-cream and soft-drinks, and hopefully a cold six-pack of Smirnoff Ice. I am hoping to make a caver NYE party, if there is a good one going on. I doubt I can go to the one in Huntsville. I would like to watch my favorite caver rock-band, GFB, perform in the near future. There is a 5 % chance I will end up in the Mexican bordertown of Reynosa during the last week of December and a 5 % chance I will end up at my sisters in Mansfield, south of Arlington. On a personal note, I have had about 10 customers pay me on-line this past few weeks using things like Zelle, PayPal, Cash app, Chase Quickpay, and SQUARE, but still living above my means. Those use my business email:da...@houston-subpoena.com In summary, going caving is not feasible right now, but I have finally found my vertical gear, after many years of it being boxed up.I hope to buy a new headlamp by February. 2019 will be the year of Desktop Linux ( a Linux joke ) Cheers, D.L.
