HURRICANES AND WEATHER

On Friday, the coolest area will be the northeast with highs in the 30s. Look for thunderstorms in Kansas and New Mexico and the Rockies. Highs across the southern tier of states will be in the 70s and 80s.

Houston has a Dense Fog Advisory until 10 am Friday. Weak cold front will move through early Friday but it will be mild in the afternoons and cool in the mornings. It will be breezy and even windy through Tuesday. On Tuesday only cold front arrives with thunderstorms.

Got my franchise tax problem (discussed in a previous blog) worked out. I went to the comptroller's office on Hamlin. Apparently, I needed to file a franchise tax return for 2007. I did not think I had to as we weren't even selling a product during that year. But since I had formed the company in May 2007, I had to file a report to say zero income. I also needed to file a report about officers of the company...one has of these reports has to be filled out every year. I thought I only needed to file once and then refile if there were changes. Go figure!!!

Have a fantastic Friday everyone!!!
