OK; I really am off to bed. See ya in the morning...
Thanks. I didn't know that either.
We have Hot Spring pools in Oregon.
But here on the coast the pools are clorine.
I wonder why sea salt?
Isn't that hard on the filter and pump?
Or do they have a special type of system.
What about bacteria levels in a salt public pool?
Pot liquor!
It was pretzels and Hershey's kisses, I'll have you know!!
I looked at New Orleans' Convention/Visitors Bureau and there seem to be a number of fine museums in No that could lose some of their collections.
For example, here is one:

This museum is south of the French Quarter and appears to have a very valuable and priceless collection of Civil War-related items.
I'd hope that some of the curators for these museums got many of these artifcats out of NO.
IIRC, the levee tops are 18' above the river.
No It's not, still 904 from what I read.
defective equipment?
Looks like jabber-jabber-jabber was the first FR fatality of Hurricane Katrina.
Are under martial law on this thread?
That is one huge storm.

They're crazy! That's several blocks closer to the Levee and it's an all glass building. Extremely nice, but not the safest building. W staff is really stupid for not closing.
thanks Army. They usually either stay in port, or outrun the storms, but I got the impression this one sneaked up on them. The ship is the length of four football fields and is somewhat slow. Forgot to ask him how many knots she'd do. Do know they once dumped an entire load of Hummers into the sea that were loaded on deck in order to save the ship. don't know what they do with about a jillion barrels of oil.
We hung a sign over the boathouse - "Bring it on, B$TCH"
The WWL stream seems to be dead right now. Could just be too busy. Anyone else?
Mexico is sending an extra large supply of illegals to help with cleanup and looting...
