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.
Zoe: My man would never fall for that. Wash: Most of my head wishes I had.

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!

Shit's all sorts of different now.
QUICK! Someone figure out how much Bounty we would need to sop up the ocean.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

What is even happening?
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.

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.

I haven't heard from -t, and I wish I could offer her and her DH a place to stay, but I'm expecting that my parents will come here eventually.
