Wow! The UTMB ghost face link finally loaded for me. Yep, that's him. Only thing is when I saw it years ago, he was up higher..... Seems they sandblasted a second time and he's moved again!!! Oh, that's just freaky!

Yes, it is; coffee made with it it gross, too.

[Carolinamom]

Do you have Ceci Connelly on your list?

[steveegg]

Salty? In Dallas? Just damn.

[ARealMothersSonForever]

Decent rant.

[zot]

You're in Dallas. Wind should be from the East or Northeast. See where that circulation is coming from -- off the Gulf, across the coast of Louisiana and Mississippi. So, I think you are smelling the present effects of Katrina. Like a wet compost pile 150 miles wide.

[Howlin]

Yep; I have one going......the other two look down.

Oh, they're all back up........start the players!

Outer eye-wall now coming into Lake Charles, LA . . . debris flying by . . .

Just caught this on EWX forum:

kplctv.com has an official saying rumors of Lake Charles flooded under 10' of water are not true. Also saying this is a worst case scenario, high tide in 10 minutes.

Lake Charles reporter said a Harrah's gambling barge had broken from its moorings and was floating down the river.

[Howlin]

No, but she's Up and coming with a bullet.

Shep is immature and a self promoting egotist, a step above his former cohort at Channel 7 in Miami Rick Sanchez presently at CNN. Most of the Fox people are doing a good job, even Geraldo seemed to be holding his ego somewhat in check. Greta is good except for the Blanco interview, and she even looks cute in her rain gear.

Mom is German and lived there for a few years. Have had a few Korean friends. Your husband is right on the smell. We had a new from Korea girl come to my sixth grade class and she had a distinct smell coming from her pores and it was on all of her clothes. It might have been garlic.

"It's water temps that do it...."

The life cycle of a lake. I've joked that God made up the rules for physics like cold fluids (air/water/etc) are heavier than warm fluids, solids are denser than liquids, etc.

UNTIL the first spring - when he realized that the solid water (ice) sank and killed all the vegetation and critters in all the lakes. Oops!

"Okay - all solids, EXCEPT water, will be denser than their liquids."

She says they've asked for money for years and always been denied.

What a bald-faced liar she is. Edwin Edward's legacy lives on. Mary Landrieu,on some talk show about a week ago,even boasted unapologetically about inserting riders into a levee appropriation bill to divert money to something else. She actually said that she made no apologies for doing so. So obviously, there had to BE a bill,for her to divert the money from it.

[Tarheel]

Lived in Lake Geneva for 17 years--it is a smell you never forget--yuck! The lake was spring fed and relatively cold but still had that yuck smell every spring.

Greta is good except for the Blanco interview, and she even looks cute in her rain gear.

I knew all Greta needed was enough blurring (though it would take a blackout :-)

[Squantos]

That's my story and I'm sticking too it !.....:o)
