My son and i left for long weekend andwere suppose to fly home yesterday. The Houston airports are closed until noon Saturday. My son's and my homes are each dry and safe. I was talking to a client who loat three cars, his home and had to be recued by boat.

I got to meet Congressman Joaquin Castro a week ago. The Texad Democratic Party is trying to show Joaquin that there is grass roots support. We had more tham 140 people show up. Joaquin had large crows at several other stops including a standing room crowd in Pasadena Texas

Chad Dunn and the liberal lawyers are doing great in the redistricting and voter id cases. It has been fun being a Texas Democrat. I just heard that The Texas apsanctuary city law was enjoined tonight

since the massive size and scale of the rebuilding effort would require a lot of affordable labor. Why not terrorize working people while he's at it.
