Back home 9/9
Thursday 9/8 around 4pm my team of four engineers was sent down to the Alabama coast -- we were to perform site surveys for shelters in Mobile and Vancleve. We had been on the road for about an hour and a half; and were about 70 miles from Mobile when we received the call: Network Operations in Dallas had discovered that the shelters we were on the way to survey had all been closed. Not only had the shelters in Mobile and Vancleve been closed, but the other 5 teams were being recalled as well for the same reason.
On the way back to Montgomery we received another call from the NOC: Once we returned to Montgomery we would be released to our normal work assignments; we were to change our return flights to Friday 9/9. We arrived in Montgomer about 7pm; had dinner and returned to our hotels to pack and make travel arrangements.
On Friday the 9th, most of us outprocessed with the Red Cross (which is actually a lenghty process that includes a medical review and mental health checkup).
My flight was at 5:50PM -- on another small jet into Houston. I had enough time in Houston to grab some dinner and then make a mad dash to the C Concourse to catch my flight to Denver.
I landed in Denver at about 11:30; made it home by 12:30 am.
I meant to get this posted earlier; but I caught a cold somewhere on the return journey and haven't felt up to doing much thinking...

I get your lack of interest in thinking. We have had so much response, so many people wanting to help with Hurricane relief. Then the lowry center has some people that were evacuated and they have been escorted all around the lowry area. Then our company has been dropping off things and helping with the general rescue efforts.
Lots and lots of things going on, you have to be just as tired of thinking about anything as I am....I look forward to hearing more about your racing progress.
