Spike: Lots of fuss over one girl. Other things to do around here--important things. Angel: You know that whoosh thing you do when you're suddenly not there anymore? I love that.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

And now she looks like this: [link]

She looks longer and lankier than most 2-year-olds -- is she? I don't have enough regular exposure to such little ones to really know. I just figured since you and Mr. flea are long lanky people, Casper is destined to be the same, even as a toddler.

And -- Happy Birthday, Casper!

I don't know. Annabel is shooting up in size at an alarming rate. I keep checking to see if Susan has been soaking her in Miracle-Gro.

You need to switch her Annabel from decaf to espresso -- that should slow her growth spurts quite effectively....

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Happy birthday to Casper! Good job, flea.

Wow. Here's a transcript from a 2002 American RadioWorks program about what would happen if a category 5 hurricane hit New Orleans: [link] .

Scary, scary stuff.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Have not read Teppy's link yet, but damn, the entire city of New Orleans has been ordered evacuated. Has this ever happened before? Has any city of 485,000 or more ever been evacuated?

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

::sigh:: One of my MN friend's parents chose this week to visit NO. Since the airport is closed, they're stuck, and will be riding out the storm in a big downtown hotel, which assures them they'll be safe....

NOLA.com's Hurricane Center

I admit, I was expecting to click that link and be taken to a page that simply said, in 72-point red asscaps, "GETOUTGETOUTGETOUT!!!"

Because that's really the only thing people can do, which is what worries me for the people in NOLA who *can't* evacuate.

hip deep in pie

Happy Birthday to Casper.

I hope everyone in the Hurricane's path remains safe and dry. There's not much else to say but yikes!
