Hi Pat,

Well I certainly hope that your friends will be okay ... and wish the same on all the folks in harms way of Rita ... you folks down there have been taking beatings in major disasters ... I hope some miracle will shift something about Rita so that it doesn't fulfill expectations

I was basically praying and crossing my fingers and holding my breath tonight, watching that jet plane do an incredibly perfect and graceful looking (to my eyes) landing and was stunned and happy those landing wheels didn't break off ... talk about angels looking out for those folks ... and one helluva a pilot too!!! THAT was a happy ending ...
