New verse:

Upon the hearth the fire is red, Beneath the roof there is a bed; But not yet weary are our feet, Still round the corner we may meet A sudden tree or standing stone That none have seen but we alone. Tree and flower and leaf and grass, Let them pass! Let them pass! Hill and water under sky, Pass them by! Pass them by!

Still round the corner there may wait A new road or a secret gate, And though we pass them by today, Tomorrow we may come this way And take the hidden paths that run Towards the Moon or to the Sun. Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe, Let them go! Let them go! Sand and stone and pool and dell, Fare you well! Fare you well!

Home is behind, the world ahead, And there are many paths to tread Through shadows to the edge of night, Until the stars are all alight. Then world behind and home ahead, We’ll wander back to home and bed. Mist and twilight, cloud and shade, Away shall fade! Away shall fade! Fire and lamp, and meat and bread, And then to bed! And then to bed!

Good morning! I'm off to NM.

[Overtaxed]

Morning!

They're saying power's out at the Superdome.

[ExGeeEye]

Good Morning!

FNC: Katrina expected to hit this morning.

(sigh)

(pray)

and it's off to work I go.

I hope everyone bought gas yesterday; should be up 20 cents this morning at least.

[2Jedismom]

Good morning! We'll expect you when we see you!

[2Jedismom]

We filled up.

[2Jedismom]

Been on shore now for what? An hour and a half?

[Overtaxed]

Yeah, I guess. The fun's gettin' ready to start. /sarcasm

[Overtaxed]

The eyewall is supposed to go over NO in about an hour.

They can see the sky through the Superdome roof.

[Corin Stormhands]

mornin'

Prayers for all in the path of this thing.

[HairOfTheDog]

Indeed.... been up for a couple hours watching....

~sip~

[JenB]

See the sky? Is that supposed to happen, I mean, is it transparent or are there holes?

[HairOfTheDog]

They've lost some of the roof - skin I think, which is not as bad as trusses.

[Overtaxed]

I think it's fabric or polystyrene foam that's blowing off...at least that's what the report sez.

A levee has breeched and an hotel has collapsed...from what I read on the thread.

Grrr....this steenkin' firewall is a pain in the butt! Can't get streaming video from LA.

[JenB]

Yeah, the live thread can be... less than informative sometimes.

[Corin Stormhands]

What's the best website for updates? Glenn Beck is being an idiot this morning. I can't take much more.

[HairOfTheDog]

Probably the live thread.... lots of clutter, but most real news gets reported there too.

[Corin Stormhands]

Yeah, I'm checking there. Was looking for an actual news site. I'll see what they're looking at.

[Overtaxed]

I've been watching WWL here

They've moved their studio to Baton Rouge

[HairOfTheDog]

Fox TV has a hilarious and ridiculous display on right now.... a reporter getting blown around.
