well, let's pray real hard. I saw in the news at wwl.com (?) i think that was the site....mary landrieu is asking for 250 BILLION for Louisiana alone. I sure hope someone responsible and honest monitors all of that money.
I dig those regionalisms.
Except for Mexifornia. Don't like that one much. ;)
I read somebody's journal from Katrina -- he said that was Blanco's pre-storm advice "Let's pray this thing down to a two."
'Tis ironic that there is even an stranded school bus.
Even better that it's a "short bus" (slam at the govt. officials, folks, calm down).
Cheers!
Thanks for your help. I can't reach her right now, but I will try mapquest after I talk to her again.
If not, I'll take one of those Anheuser Busch debit cards and call it good!
Apprently for the TxDOT evacuation planning meetings...

The picture of the water flowing over the levee in New Orleans are a sad thing to see. Should just bulldoze the 9th ward and make that area a flood zone. Otherwise this will happen again. I read parts of that area are like 15 feet below sea level. Building that low is just plain insanity.
What an ordeal! If people in the north and areas not prone to flooding wouldn't have added to the traffic, you wouldn't have had such a horrible travail. :/
Good luck and God bless you!
Hey Dog Gone, did you evacuate?
Rita will probably have a similar coastal impact as Ivan. Destructive but not nearly as catastrophic as Katrina.
But the real havoc would happen if it stalls over NE Texas for three days as models project...
I will. But their teminology is not the same as engineering terminology. I think in their minds, "breach" is defined as "water running over the top." Not that I think the initial assessments are likely to be accurate in any event, but the sloppy use of language by reporters makes getting accurate assessment that much harder.
It ought to be.
Most likely Nagin and Blanco's get away bus....
The short bus.
LOL... Good morning, I fell asleep on ya'll last night.
Not much traffic through my area like there was yesterday ~shrug~ Guess everybody that was going to evacuate through this area came through yesterday. Kinda slow day now.
Maybe Budweiser will take care of it. Instead of shipping little cans of water, they can save the trouble of retooling and just send the beer.
What she is NOT SAYING is that the CORRUPTION there is so intense that money allocated from OUR TAX DOLLARS thru the years, millions upon millions, has NOT been used as designated for levee work but has somehow gotten diverted into WHO KNOWS WHOSE POCKETS.
She is one bad apple....with dreams of control of billions....a DNC boost and a windfall for LA corruption czars.
I want MY TAX DOLLARS to be monitored in LA by a group assigned by our President..........I HAVE NO REASON TO TRUST MARY THE GRUBBER who did NOT HELP her people prior to Katrina and her cabal of corrupt dems control the money any longer.
They have PROVEN themselves not TRUSTWORTHY. Period.
