Hurricane Ike: The Chron's Sci Guy says we are still in watch and wait mode.

Drugs: Harris County is set to give away 108,000 prescription discount cards at all 16 Harris County Tax Office branches. Get 'em while you can!

Strip Clubs: A Harris County judge has ordered The Penthouse Club in southwest Houston to shut down. This is the first time a breast lounge has been shut down since the city's sexually oriented business ordinance was enacted in 1997.

Escape: We're not talking about the Piña Colada song either. Marlow Wayne Reynolds, 54, a convicted murderer who was serving 40 years for murder, possession of a prohibited weapon and tampering with physical evidence escaped from the TDC in Rosharon Tuesday night by climbing over a fence.
River Oaks: Swamplot has a photo tour of River Oaks. Head over to their site to take a tour of a place you'll probably never live.

Craigslist: A rash of violent robberies has been occurring near Dallas. Unsuspecting internet shoppers respond to better than average deals for items and are then robbed at gunpoint.

Crazy Astronaut: Yup, Lisa Nowak is still in the news, this time in Florida where a hearing will be held next month for the former astronaut, who's accused of driving from Texas to Florida to confront a romantic rival.

Not So Happy Birthday: A 23 year old man who was celebrating his birthday was shot outside a local nightclub. It is unknown why the shooting occurred.

Astros: The Astros are only 4 games out of the wild card spot with their win over the Pirates last night! Go Astros

Today's weather: Look for purple haze, er... just haze. It'll be a bit hazy today with a high around 92, a 20 percent chance rain and a low tonight in the mid 70s.
