Well..I stand by my statement..people first, but my love of animals is firm and I know we have a lot of animal refugees in Texas right now...
San Antonio is going to house 20 to 25 thousand people ..Going to utilize old Kelly AF base for one thing..runways also may provide a place for temp housing to be brought in?..Building can only house 8 thousand.CNN
There are a lot of dogs I would rather sit next to on a 5 hour bus ride to Houston. I wouldn't have left without my pets either, especially if my fat-assed governor, mayor and senators were living it up and telling me how to "ride it out".
"Cut off the electricity and water for three days in one area of the country and we descend into chaos."
An article I read a few years back suggested families get in the habit of going one day without TV or computers at least once a week.
Have everyone, kids included, spend the day reading or doing outside activities. Even get out the checkerboard games. Play kick the can, etc.
They said Americans need to be prepared mentally, emotionally, etc. for what hardships we might need to endure if major emergencies happen -- coping without TV and computers for extended periods of time, maybe days or weeks.
Oops...some group should have updated their programming to reflect current events.
Aaron Brown is a big fat liar! I hope that someone in the Bush administration was watching.
So did the Cindy Tour.
I believe that's what I read in a news article earlier.
Carry on...
> LOL!! That's WAY different than a gallon of plain old tasteless water! :)
Howz that old Irish shanty go? "Water's good for fish, for makin' tay (tea), and things that swim in rivers."
Seriously though, I do drink heroic quantities of water, being cursed with virulent perspiration glands. When we were moving our daughter & son-in-law the other week, I went through six shirts, each one so wet that there was nary a dry spot on it, and could easily have wrung out a glass of salt water, each. It's so bad, I offend even myself.
Do you really think there are 150,000 people still in their flooded homes or clinging to rooftops? What is the basis for your estimate?
Not flaming--I just want to know the truth. So much is being hidden from the media and the general public.
"I'm trying to make it a fairy tale so they won't panic," said Nathan, who had four grandchildren in tow.
Yes the MSM and the DNC got together for huge planning session on how to help in this national crisis and have formulated a new and improved plan to lead the country out of this mess!
They have decided to Blame Bush for everything.
In Louisiana and New Orleans?..How can you suggest such a thing?/ sarcasm
Did you see how Baton Rouge property is selling like hotcakes to anyone with good credit and a downpayment... no waiting period to get the thing closed, either.
"Harry Reid on the Senate Floor: "I support President Bush..."
Did Ted Kennedy come running out on the Senate floor saying, "NO, HARRY, NO!"
"To: jeffers
It is a case of trying to get as many out as we can before the worsening conditions make it unnecessary.
This is a terrible thing. I saw a woman today on TV who was being carried out of the SD. She was so severely dehydrated that she was seizing and I didn't think she was going to make it. She may have had
other medical problems, I don't know. But overall it's clear that many people are in very fragile condition now.
God bless you, I will pray for you and everybody who works with you."
I'm at home on my PC like most others here. "We" refers to America. Hang tough. It's all we can do.

This isn't exactly what I was working for, but it seemed that the funding decreased somewhat because the stated project had been completed. Great article.
everyone should drink that much
Denny Hastert said that NO shouldn't be rebuilt where it is at below sea level and the Governor threw a hissy fit. Not safe to be out on the streets of NO as cops are walking off the job and FEMA suspended search and rescue operations by boat this morning because they were being shot at. IOTW, pretty much the same lawlessness as last night.
Forgot some doctor that was interviewed and won't go back to the Super Dome said that some of the hoodlums causing the trouble are on buses to TX.
It is getting really bad for some people left in NO who I pray can get out, but I cannot feel sorry for the looters and other hoodlums roaming around even if Jesse Jackson now says the sniping shots were overplayed. BTW, JJ is now in LA.
That about sums it up in a quick synopsis.
