Bo,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Glad you and your place made it through. Assume you will stay put for a few days and let the utility crews get a chance to clean up a bit and get power restored.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Looks like storm surge was less than predicted. My son did not have any flooding from Galveston bay.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks</div>

<div dir="auto">Just a quick update on Sulphur Louisiana from Slidell Louisiana which is 230 miles away . My brother said my house and shop is still intact with minimum damage as for the best that he can see . There is so much debris that he cannot walk
around in the yard . Light poles and wires and limbs makes it impossible to walk anywhere . It seems like I am doing better than most within miles of where I live . I will post more when possible .I LOVE THE ANTIQUE TRACTOR GUYS and what they mean to me

To minimize the eye strain from your monitor, try looking away every 15 - 20 minutes and stare at something 20 - 25 feet away, like something in the next room, for about 5 minutes. Even watching TV for a minute or two helps due to the movement on the screen.
I used to get up a take a walk and BS with the other engineers every now and then, also helped with thinking about what I was working on. Another thing to try is to sit farther away from the monitor. You can also try adjusting the brightness and contrast,
darker is supposed to be better.<br>
<br>
Some of the disciplinary aides (secretaries) I used to work with would use a screen filter to cut down the glare from the monitor. Some people say that wearing a good pair of polarized lenses helps.<br>
<br>
The reason you don’t have as big an issue with you phone is because of the screen size and the lower amount of emitted light.<br>

Thanks Mattias. Yes I just saw that message. <br>
It’s good to hear from all of you but looking at this computer screen gives<br>
me terrible headaches so I don’t. I can do stuff on my smart phone pretty well<br>
but the computer hurts.<br>

Hi! <br>
<br>
Good to hear from you Charlie.<br>
No earlier said that they were evacuating, so I believe they're safe but worried over their property and belongings.<br>
<br>

Hi gang.<br>
<br>
I hope everyone is well. I’m doing fine but looking at computer screens bothers my eyes enough<br>
that it’s no fun to be online. I can drive and function ok. There are just some things that bother<br>
me enough to discourage doing them. E-mail is one of those.<br>
<br>
I’m worried about Bo Hinch. Has anyone heard from him? Some of you probably know<br>
he lives very near Lake Charles (Sulphur), LA which, under some forecast models is possibly ground<br>
zero for hurricane Laura. I think the elevation of his whole town is about 16’ above sea level<br>
and it’s only a few miles inland from a bay that empties into the gulf.<br>
I haven’t been able to get up with him. I hope he and anyone else in this family who is in the<br>
path of this storm has their antique tractors put away and is headed for high ground.<br>
<br>
If I don’t see your reply John Hall and Al Jones know how to reach me.<br>
<br>
Charlie<br>
