August 15, 2009 I am sitting in Katy, Tx, on the west side of Houston. It is miserably hot and humid here. Everything is nice and green though. I wonder if there is a full moon tonight. I don't think so, but from some of the people I have run across the last few days, it makes me wonder. This morning, while eating breakfast, a man sat down at the other end of the counter. He looked presentable. He was clean, had money and politely asked the waitress for coffee. Then he started talking. At first, I thought he was talking to me or the waitress, but I soon realized he was just "talking". His words got faster and faster and he was telling these tales about his youth, about our country, etc., etc. He was talking about 90 words per second and didn't care whether anyone was listening or not. I finished breakfast and got out of there. He must have been on some kind of speed. I got online a little later and pulled up foxbusiness news. The first thing I saw was that an Alabama bank had failed and been taken over by the FDIC. Colonial bank is no more.
