I'm waiting for Bush to invade the ocean, like Caligula.
Actually controlling the ocean is pretty tough and there aren't a lot of good targets. Maybe we'll attack something else. Canada would work. It's close by and look at all that coastline, they have to be working with the ocean, plus they have a bunch of our oil in the Alberta oil sands.
They've got these huge tubine farms out in Minnesota (Buffalo Ridge, which you can see not far from the family farm. ) HUGE. They're clearly visible from a plane huge. I think my head would explode if I was up close to them.
I think, to really attack the ocean, you'd need a really, really big tarp.
Or, a few million buckets of sand.
Sponges! Lots and lots of sponges!
QUICK! Someone figure out how much Bounty we would need to sop up the ocean.
Caligula invaded the ocean?
It's probably apocryphal, but it did show up in I, Claudius: [link]
Waiting for the televangelists to make sodom and gommorah comparisions.
Well, the most recent F2F
was
there. C'mon, I can't be the only one who thought that?
More good news: they're reporting tentatively that the Causeway is undamaged. The Causeway is the highway from the north end of Metairie to the north shore (Covington, Mandeville).
Jefferson Parish, which I believe is where -t and her husband live, has said that they'll let people back in in about a week, in order to get clothes and other essentials. Then, people will need to leave again and not return for a month.

Oh man, what are people going to do?
I was just talking to one of my neighbors. She's waiting to hear from her brother. I don't know what neighborhood he lives in. His family evacuated to Florida. He's got a son down there, but he had to stay to work, as he works for the phone company. She heard from him last night, and the first floor of the building had flooded and he'd moved up a floor.
