Well, @#&.

Here we go again. We just barely got grandmother out from under Katrina & here comes Rita up the Gulf o'Mexico, heading for the LA/TX border. Grandmother's getting rain bands now in Hattiesburg; my sister is unable to get hold of her with the Tracfone we got her, even with the ringer turned all the way up. This means it is either plugged up in the kitchen where she can't hear it, or she's asleep and can't hear it.

Damn.
