Since the conference is in Dallas, hurricane Rita is getting our attention. Dallas is far enough away from the hurricane that no one is worried about a direct hit, but residents of Houston are evacuating to Dallas and obviously air traffic in Texas is going to be affected. Rita is supposed to hit ground very early Saturday morning and I'm scheduled to leave Saturday evening. I guess I'll just have to wait and see what happens.
I'm enjoying the conference. There are a steady stream of interesting papers. Several of the presentations today were very interesting, but I don't really feel like typing up the details. ;-)
The banquet at South Fork Ranch was fun. The mansion at the ranch is amazing. Very luxurious, but nothing like seeing an "old money" mansion back east. We had an excellent dinner with steak and salmon. Delicious.
