Comes a hearty, happy email from my American Express account touting an untimely trip to Jamaica:
"Use your Card to book three nights in an ocean-view accommodation at the AAA Five Diamond Ritz-Carlton Golf & Spa Resort in Rose Hall, Jamaica."
Rose Hall is on Montego Bay, on the north side of the island, which got not so much of Dean, as it happens. Reports from there (scroll down) are that the hotels are okay, with only a few fallen trees, but still trying to get the power back on.
THE TEXAS SCRIBBLER 
They probably figure Texans would be right at home without electric and a few fallen trees. Probably more trees then most Texans have ever seen.

Ouch. You really should come to Texas more often, Eva, especially East Texas where the Davy Crockett National Forest is.
