Sun. 3rd

A major TV station in Waco wants to interview Jon for a position there. The station is covering his trip expenses, including motel. We are driving to Beaumont tomorrow (Monday) to pick up Dyllin who does not want to go to Waco. Jon, Angie, and Ian will go Tuesday morning and stay two or three days there.

Earlier in the year, Jon drew new mascot images for a high school in Dallas where Mark teaches. The school has already had the logo painted into the center of the gym floor. Now they want Jon to paint the logo on a wall inside the school. They have agreed to pay Jon $5,000.00 to paint the mural. SO, when he gets through with the Waco interview, he, Angie, & Ian will drive to Dallas to visit with the high school administration ref: the logo. All that traveling may be wet and windy because of the new storm in the Gulf.

While our temp was 101f this afternoon, a line of severe thunderstorms moved through the area from the northeast. We received a good rain with no damaging wind or hail. NOW, a tropical storm has popped up in the Gulf south of New Orleans. It is forecast to grow into a minor hurricane before if moves into Texas Tuesday morning near Houston. That means that Lufkin should get plenty of rain beginning Monday evening and continuing for several days. We will see if the creek can handle a lot of rain. While the creek was dry this week, I removed some debris and cut some roots and stumps that had been creating log jams. We'll see what happens.
