Happy Canada Day to my friends a few miles north.

Yes, my Canadian friends, we in the U.S. have passed a health care reform bill that only our politicians could love. We had a chance at a single-payer system. But, apparently, your Canadian system is so backwards and inefficient we were loathe to adopt it because it smacked of socialism and was not working. Right?

Tropical Storm Alex is growing in strength and is currently about 300 miles SE of Brownsville, Texas, according to the National Hurricane Center. It is predicted to make landfall somewhere south of Brownsville, Texas and grow to hurricane strength by Wednesday of this week.

Businesses in the affected area should prepare for the storm. The Texas Department of Public Safety issues online situation reports regularly and these are great sources of current and reliable information.

The Texas Department of Insurance website is also a great source of information. It features an entire page of links and information. The site’s Hurricane Resource Page has excellent preparation tips, insurance tips and links to helpful resources.
