...back from Fredericksburg. It was a nice respite from post-Ike reality. We heard from EC that our power came back on late Monday night. There was a section of Kingwood that lost power Tuesday and we almost cancelled our return drive, but a friend drove by and saw our ligths on so we drove home, arriving about midnight last night.
Fredericksburg was really a pleasant break and I especially enjoyed seeing the National Museum of the Pacific War (housed in and around the property owned and 
operated from way back in the 1850s by Admiral Nimitz' family - hence the unusual location in a tiny hill country town) and the LBJ Ranch about 20 miles east of town. Johnson's "Texas White House" only opened for tours about a month ago and the only portion open to tours is the office area. But it was quite interesting.
