You know, there may be some people on the List who are concerned and a bit frightened about the prospect of another hurricane hitting the Gulf in the next few weeks. So, why don't you all give it a rest? Who cares if Ileana's statement re. hurricanes late in the season was totally accurate or not. She was just trying to make a positive point... Paulette in NC (Who has lived through 6 hurricanes and many tropical storms, and if we didn't have a litter due, would be packing for Beaumont.) ----- Original Message ----- From: <caggra@xxxxxxx> To: <InquestGSD@xxxxxxx>; <mrstitanium@xxxxxxxxx>; <showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, September 30, 2008 1:03 PM Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: Beaumont This is not exactly accurate information...? Just off the top of my head some November Hurricanes come to mind.? 2001 - Michelle, 1999 - Lenny, 1985 - Kate, which actually hit the Gulf of Mexico areas in mid - late November.? I am certain there are several others.?? No, it doesn't happen every year, but it is certainly possible.? Typically, Ohio in October is beautiful.? Everyone knows Lexington was a fluke.? I thought Colorado was perfect dog show weather.?? I would take chilly anyday over hot or stormy etc.?? Not that any of the above elements would keep me from going to the National!? LOL?? And - ?I hope that it doesn't keep anyone else either.?

Having lived in Hurricane ally for the largest part of my life, come November most of the Hurricane season is done. I think the last time we had a really late one was in the 1950's. Now, we may have snow next year in Ohio, and we froze our rears in Lexington, and last year in Colorado wasn't exactly a warm memory. Oh yeah, and I was in Louisiana for Katrina. Made for very adventurous driving. But since we cant control the weather, we just have to learn to deal with it. And if my boss doesn't mind and if the price is right, I will be at the National this year and next year and any other year, sun, rain, snow or wind non withstanding. Don't get me wrong, I am not making light of the suffering of those who have to deal with the aftermath. I was right there after Hugo. But I am more concerned about my dog's training and performance than about the specter of possible bad weather. So Laura, are you going to Beaumont, and have you made your entry? Look forward to meeting you there. For those overwhelmed by the thoughts of bad weather, it is best to stay home. In Texas the weather will change faster than you can report it. Don't forget your sunblock. <G> Ileana **************Looking for simple solutions to your real-life financial challenges?
