You are Anne Elliot of Persuasion! Let's face it; you're easily persuaded, particularly when friends and relatives try to use "the Elliot way" against you. But this doesn't mean that you don't have conviction. Actually, your sense of duty is overwhelming. And though you won't stick your neck out too often, you have learned to speak up when it counts. To boot, you know how to handle sticky situations. You love deeply and constantly.

WHITEWATER!!! In September no less...

We had water in September thanks to Gustav. So, a few of us brave souls decided to make the best of a beautiful Saturday and go paddling. As you can see, we had a lot of water...and fun!

Gustav...in Arkansas

This is one view from the window(s) in my office. Typically, the green trees you see are, by this time of the year (just coming off August), brown.

Not so much this year. We had two high water events earlier in the year (March and April) and now, we are in the midst of dealing with what is left of Hurricane Gustav. Couple that with the fact we really didn't have a scorching summer (we had some rain throughout June, July, and August), and you get green trees. I hope this means we will have a beautiful fall (the silver lining in all those grey clouds!).

Most predictions are saying the State of Arkansas could get up to 10 inches in some areas. That could be a bad thing.

We're watching this event closely and I hope this storm will soon pass (without any further damage). We had some big trees come down in the neighborhood and I've been hearing that from people all over the office.
