Those pumps are pretty much worthless when the Lake is overflowing the Levee's. Thats basically what is going on now. No need to waste electricity.

What's an "Anderson Cooper moment"?

Cooper was reporting during a recent hurricane and the Ramada Inn sign was torn off and flew past him. He started screaming. (Not that I blame him... ;-))

I topped off yesterday too ($2.69/gallon), and didn't go to mini-Bristol (Slinger), though that durn summer cold had more to do with that.
