One of the facets of a mundane American life. The gated communities don’t like ‘em.

Wait, they can just ad another trillion to the infrastructure bill. That’ll fix it. While they’re at it add another couple trillion to pay off all our mortgages too.

Think the cops will do anything?

Get the workers from that cancer hospital in Houston out, then take off and nuke Houston from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure…

Pretty sad how violent NOLA is. The French Quarter is so historic and beautiful. Some of the best cuisine in the world is found in New Orleans. That said, it’s a very dangerous place.

Just a FYI...

There is a industry in Arkansas that is dependant upon hurricanes coming up from Louisiana...Arkansas rice framers.

Bush’s fault.

LOL. We have so much to do as is, and nowhere near enough people.
A lot of them are near retirement around me.
I try to get all blue collar guys to become linemen.

Like a said dumb question, but the neighborhood in which my hovel is located has underground electrical and cost doesn’t seem burdensome.

But then my hovel is not located in a swamp.

It just seems that some brainiac could come up with a better way. One that would actually save money over time.

I saw a tweet earlier saying there wasn’t enough power for the pumps.
