Not to mention, NOLA is a major port. In practical terms, it will be necessary either to rebuild NOLA (at minimum, to get its port facilities back to where they were, plus necessary supporting infrastructure), or to find a new port/increase the capacity of existing ports to take up the slack. Unless we want the U.S. to become more self-sufficient/less dependent on imports, which would have its upside but doesn't appear likely in today's zeitgeist.
Yeah. That's the point I was going to mention. Really, most of the areas where you hear talk about the risks of living there, why should we pay, blah blah blah are major port cities.
Dude. You'll pay one way or another.
Just another part of my increasing frustrageon at how short-sighted people can be. (Not, you know, that we've been having any issues related to repairing/replacing vulnerable structures that are key to the economic security of this whole neck of the woods or anything like that. Oh no.)

is Gmail down for everyone, or does it have a particular hate-on for me?

More from my friends in Jackson: They're still having trouble getting gas. Problem isn't supply, it's that most of the stations still don't have power.
One friend needs to drive from Jackson to Hattiesburg to deliver food and water to his older relatives who are running low. He has enough gas to get to Hattiesburg, but not enough to get back.

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

Brenda, I love the word frustrageon. It just sums up so much.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
BTW - I'm sorry for my flippancy about NOLA and hell earlier on. It was kind of tasteless. I just tend to default to gallows humor. Not an excuse, but I am sorry.

I would like an initiative on the ballot here that says if the Big One happens Tim Eyman and John Carlson are required to apologize personally to the next of kin of those killed in the Alaskan Way Viaduct collapse and the 520 breakup. And the survivors too. And by apologize I mean they have to go to every person's residence, meet each person individually, and say how sorry they are that their greed and selfishness killed and maimed and put in harm's way.
