So if any one knows of anything...please let me know.

Michael,
Darn skippy it should still be Memorial Day. Everyday should be. : )
You keep on telling stories...I love, love, love it.
I know the Colorado River and the Brazos Rivers are flooding here in Texas....is the Colorado flooding further north too? In Texas it's still all part of the rain we got a few days ago...and darn it, it's getting cloudy again now. River cresting is still coming for the Colorado (tonight) and for the Brazos (this weekend). The Brazos and St. Bernard Rivers are flooding in the county we live in. The Colorado River is flooding over in Wharton which is the county next to us on the west.
This part of it is watershed flooding from the earlier rains ....plus they're releasing a whole lot of water from Lake Conroe (just north of Houston and the city's water supply) and it's all going toward the Gulf of Mexico and down the Brazos River. Lake Conroe is a man made lake -- 21 miles across, 75 feet deep. It's huge. I just looked up the number to make sure I had it right since I heard it on the news earlier but they are releasing 8,660 cubic feet of water per second from it now. If they don't the water in Lake Conroe will top the spillway.
When is the concert Jeff is going to? Is it now? I'm so excited for him. : )

Jeffery...try to get some sleep tonight bro!
Sorry that the M&G didn't work out...think about it.
Her time is cut to probably 1 hour now...you might possibly squeeze 120 people in.
You could also easily run over her foot and ruin the whole tour...it could happen.
Are you going to have an I pad or something at the show...to keep us updated?
Remember to just sit back and enjoy the whole experience...for all of us!

Jo...That was the exact word that I needed...Skipper!
I have some photos of me wearing a sailor uniform at 3 years old.
My favorite television shows were McHales Navy...and Gilligans Island.
All dealing with boats...it was not my destination...but it was.
It is nice to have a leader that you can say..."Hey Skip!".

Taylor Swift is leaving the super sexy thing to other pop stars – and she's completely cool not concerning herself with it.
"No, that's a way of people saying I’m just not generally a sexy person. That's all that is," Taylor said.
And the 25-year-old is content with her image.
"It's fine. I've accepted it. I'm a lot of things. Overtly sexy is not one of them," she explained. "I'm fine. I'm fine with all the other things I am."
Taylor has also embraced being a role model for teens and young people.

BATON ROUGE - From a hospital room Wednesday, Elizabeth Dazzio said Taylor Swift and her concert producers saved her life last Friday.
Dazzio was driving her sister, Caroline, and a friend home from the show when she fell asleep and wrecked near the I-110/Scenic Highway exit.
Dazzio was knocked unconscious, the car was mangled up and the two girls were trapped.
"You could smell the gas and smoke," Caroline said. "I was just thinking we need to get out of this car."
Two of three phones in the car were dead, the girls could not find the third.
Cars passed and none stopped so the girls used bracelets from the show, that had been programmed and synced to the beat of the music, as emergency flares to get the attention of people driving by.
Eventually, someone stopped. A woman told the girls she saw the lights and knew someone was in trouble.
"She could tell that there was someone in the car," Caroline told WBRZ reporter Brett Buffington in an exclusive interview on WBRZ News 2 at 10:00 Wednesday.
The woman and a man with her helped pull the girls out and called for first responders.
Dazzio is expected to be released from the hospital soon.
On Thursday, Swift tweeted that she was glad to hear the girls were doing well.

"Bad Blood," released on Big Machine Records and promoted to radio by Republic Records, surges from No. 53 to No. 1 on the Hot 100 following a week of tracking after Swift premiered its celebrity-studded clip to open the BBMAs. The song rockets 26-1 on Digital Songs with 385,000 downloads sold (up 721 percent) in the week ending May 24, according to Nielsen Music. It also vaults onto the Streaming Songs chart at No. 3 with 18.1 million U.S. streams, with 99 percent of its streaming activity from Vevo on YouTube clicks of its official video. On Radio Songs, "Blood" bounds 46-15 with a 109 percent increase to 57 million all-format audience impressions.

Hey Detroit start your engines!
Coming to IndyCar this week: Tony Kanaan's No. 10 Taylor Swift Chevrolet!
DETROIT — Add former Indianapolis 500 champion Tony Kanaan to the list of fans who just can't shake off Taylor Swift.
Taylor Swift responds to 'Taylor Remember Abbie' Twitter campaign with flowers and a note
A paint scheme of Swift will fill the space on Kanaan's car this weekend at the Detroit Belle Isle Grand Prix as part of a promotion with her label, Big Machine Records. Kanaan will drive the No. 10 Taylor Swift Chevrolet in conjunction with her Saturday night performance in Detroit. Taylor Swift's face is now on a race car
On Saturday, former Indianapolis 500 champion Tony Kannan will drive a car with Taylor Swift's face on it in the Detroit Belle Isle Grand Prix. The special paint job is to honor Swift's stop in Detroit for her 1989 world tour that night.
Swift kicked off her The 1989 World Tour this month, and Kanaan says he hopes some of Swift's luck from last weekend's Billboard Music Awards rubs off on him in Detroit. Swift won eight awards; Kanaan is still looking for his first win of the season.
Big Machine is the official entertainment partner of Chip Ganassi Racing.

Behold!
Let the leaders of the strongest nation on Earth...
See how a leader works!
Congress flocks to Taylor Swift concert
WASHINGTON (CNN) -
There's plenty of bad blood between Republicans and Democrats in Congress, but on July 13, one woman will bring them together: Taylor Swift.
A whopping 19 congressional lawmakers and political action committees are reserving private boxes to host fundraisers at Swift's concert at Nationals Park this summer, according to Coalescent, a fundraising firm. A handful of lawmakers booked spots earlier this month, but since then, the number of politicos advertizing events at the concert has exploded.
The bipartisan gathering might not amount to a love story between the parties, but 13 Republicans and 6 Democrats plan to charge supporters from $750 to $2,500 per ticket for a chance to hobnob with elected officials during the show. Tickets are available to the public for around $60. Quick Clicks
The upcoming money-makers aren't the first time lawmakers have hosted events tied to Swift. A smaller group of politicians also used Swift's D.C. visits in 2010 and 2011 as well, according to the Sunlight Foundation, which tracks political fundraising.
For her part, Swift doesn't advertise her political views.
"I try to keep myself as educated and informed as possible," she told TIME in 2012. "But I don't talk about politics because it might influence other people."

Dazzling, self-assured, and ferociously talented, Taylor Swift is the world’s most relevant and intriguing woman. Now what will she do for an encore?
Taylor Swift is the quintessential American success story: Armed with little more than a guitar, a boatload of ambition, and an uncanny knack for creating a proliferation of perfect pop songs, Swift has spent a decade engineering her own perfectly executed rise from that storied Pennsylvania Christmas-tree farm to the covers of magazines like this one. (So many magazines...) The past 12 months mark Swift’s best year ever, she says: She became tourism ambassador for her adopted hometown of New York, playfully satirized tabloid perceptions of her, and pivoted from her country roots to debut her first-ever pop album, earning the Billboard Woman of the Year award for the second time and assuming her rightful role among a small circle of international superstars. Swift breaks album sales records like lesser pop stars break hearts, all while somehow retaining the same wide-eyed charm that made her so likable in the first place. She is also deeply unconcerned with whether or not you consider her attractive, which of course only makes her more so. We spoke with Swift, as she wrapped up the last day of her 1989 tour rehearsals, about life on the road, feminism, and what it feels like to be named by Maxim the most talented woman alive.
How does it feel being named No. 1? It’s really nice and such an incredible compliment. This year has been my favorite year of my life so far. I got to make an album exactly the way I wanted to make it. I got to put it out exactly the way that I dreamed of putting it out. Every one of these kinds of whims and ideas came to fruition. The videos—I’m proud of those, I’m proud of the tour, I’m proud of the way this has all happened. In the midst of all that, this is really nice. It really feels like a wonderful celebration of my favorite year.
You’re getting ready to go on tour for "1989." What are you doing to prepare? We’ve been in rehearsals for months, trying to get the live instrumental versions of these songs to as close to the album sounds as possible. And also you’re lengthening things, creating mash- ups with things. It was fun to play around and get everything sonically right before we got on the actual stage and started doing the choreography. But before all that—probably close to a year ago—we started setting the stage, so that was when the drawing started. Now all we have to do is actually…do the tour.
Given all that, how do you make time for all your friendships? It seems like everyone is your best friend. Can I be your best friend? [Laughs] Thankfully, 10 years into my career now, I’ve learned how to work in a smarter way. You have to have time to breathe and have a happy life, and friendships are so important to me. Thankfully—thanks to the fans—now we get to play stadiums, so we do two or three stadium shows a week. I’ll see my friends in whichever city I’m closer to.
You’ve become more vocal about feminism recently. What changed? Honestly, I didn’t have an accurate definition of feminism when I was younger. I didn’t quite see all the ways that feminism is vital to growing up in the world we live in. I think that when I used to say, “Oh, feminism’s not really on my radar,” it was because when I was just seen as a kid, I wasn’t as threatening. I didn’t see myself being held back until I was a woman. Or the double standards in headlines, the double standards in the way stories are told, the double standards in the way things are perceived. A man writing about his feelings from a vulnerable place is brave; a woman writing about her feelings from a vulnerable place is oversharing or whining. Misogyny is ingrained in people from the time they are born. So to me, feminism is probably the most important movement that you could embrace, because it’s just basically another word for equality.
