I grew up in Nederland. When this is over, we'll expect you to check back in with us. Hope you end up on the western side.

Good luck. Stay safe. Even though she weakened she'll still pack a whollop.

You get to high ground OK?

Yar, we're all hunkered down.

Waiting for power loss.

I give it 13 hours more.

Blanco on TV now, trying to impersonate a governor. Get this: she is asking for all sorts of money, including complete pay for police and fire from the Feds, instead of just overtime. Also she wants more money so that people of Louisiana can come home (translation...get those Rat voters back now). She also is confusung Rita and Katrina, and Rita and FEMA.

I'm about ready to suggest that the other 49 states think about suing LA for voting this incompetent into office, and making the rest of us pay through the nose for their foolishness.

You must be about the dumbest brick in the stack.

Thanks, it's nice to make your acquaintance too.

He's entitled to stage and post those pictures, and I'm entitled to an opinion on the subject. Doesn't make any difference whether we're talking about "good" or "bad" people. I'm not such a criminal myself. Get over yourself and stop calling me names.

I thought the plan was to have him go to the Colorado Command center first from the get-go. He was supposed to go to Texas after that. At least that is what I thought I heard this morning on FOX.

I didn't see the Governor...

BUT, it sounds like she is picking up where her two US Senators left off yesterday...

They called a presser to say that they are going to ask the federal govt. (you and me) to give them 250 BILLION dollars to rebuild NO...and even pay for mosquito spraying, building new homes for everyone...etc...

So, I guess NOW it is the Governor's turn...

I agree with Rush on this---not only is it despicable that they want taxpayers to pay for the repairs of a levee that HAD been financed but squandered by the locals....

BUT, it is in VERY BAD TASTE to demand this money on the eve of Texas perhaps being pounded by a hurricane...

He said they didn't wait though, because the wanted to be first in line with their hands out....

I SAY---they just screwed the pooch...I am going to tell my Congresscritters to NOT give any of my money for NO...unless it is built ABOVE sea-level and the state of LA has to pay for their share.

"Flooding now in St. Bernhard from levee failure...

Levees being undercut in other places now...."


This might be for the best in the long run. Better now than after 5 years of rebuilding homes and businesses (but no real improvements to the levees).

I had to put them down.

I am too old to pack around 70 pounds of iron!!

My wife, kids and I had a ton of fun taking these pics.

The neighbors that are left know us and our demand for weapon safety were laughing their buns off.

Starting to rain.

Time to get serious and actually load up.

Thank you for the prayers.
The sky is turning green. I have to leave and keep my little girl close to me.
I'll be back WHEN I can. :-)
