The End of the Big Easy?
As you might imagine, I'm fairly worried about by home away from home, New Orleans. Everybody who's even visited the city knows about the almost certain city-wide devestation that lies but a Cat-5 hurricane away. And while Ultra Laser and I joke about bringing the grandkids on a scuba diving tour of our old apartment, those thoughts don't seem that funny tonight.
Speaking of UL, I talked to him today and he was getting ready to join the masses on I-10 west to Baton Rouge, and hopefully beyond. He said if it weren't for the national guard rolling through that he'd probably just stick it out at home. Yeah, he's that guy you see footage of on the roof waiting for rescue helicopters.
So now we cross our fingers and wait. Scary, scary.
