Houston has dodged a bullet
But other parts of the state — and maybe the Nation’s economy — are in trouble.

I’m at home. My shift today ended at 7 p.m. Shortly thereafter, it become became clear that Houston was threatened with no more than light rain. Since I live close to my institution, I saw no reason to ride my employer’s clock or not to sleep in my own bed. So I cleared my departure with management and left. I’ll return tomorow at 7 a.m unless I’m called off.
Yes, I’m relieved for my city. And no, Houston is not New Orleans.
