WSB in Atlanta is "Welcome South, Brother."
When you look back at this, in the three seconds it'll take you to turn to dust, I think you'll find the mistake was touching my stuff.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Ah.
Imbraguglio learned that she lost her home when the St. Bernard levee broke.
That's why that area is flooded.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I've been singing the WWL radio jingle in my head all day.

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

Oy. But it looks like it's weirdly neighborhood by neighborhood in an odd patchwork, depending on where the pumps failed (9th ward) or where the levee was breached (Kenner). I don't know why Chalmette is under water though.
This is going to sound like a strange comparison, but it sounds like the flood Tulsa had when I was 12. The eastside was under 8 feet of water, and a few houses near us had waist-deep water for weeks. But we had nothing, and the river itself didn't flood. And while some of it is explainable -- the eastside had 12 inches of rain in 5 hours, the nearby houses were built on a creek that had been culverted -- a lot of it wasn't. One low spot would be under 4 feet of water, while another half a mile away was dry.
Not Hurricane Of The Century(TM), but it was the worst disaster I ever saw as a kid, and I learned a lot about hydrology (though I still made only a B in hydrology in college.)

Heh. Before I even read Betsy's post, I had the WLW jingle in my head.

Forgot this:
Say, dw (or anyone cssly inclined, really), speaking of css, have you seen: [link] ? We used it to convince the powers that be of the glories of style sheets.
I asked a candidate about that site today; she didn't know what it was. But she did say enough about how much she likes CSS and tableless design that I just about demanded that she be my plural wife. But then I realized that a) I'm not Mormon, b) she probably wasn't, c) my singular wife most certainly isn't and wouldn't find this amusing at all.
But she is going to get the job offer (pending reference check).
