I'll be fine. I'll be your bounty, Jubal Early. And I'll just fade away.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Is there online video of Ted Koppel's interview with the head of FEMA? My co-workers want to see Koppel kicking some ass.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

According to that google map, my house may have escaped flooding. Houses near me did, apparently.

And now for the bad news - my grandmother had a stroke last night. She's in ICU and the dorctors are asking what kind of religious observances she'd like, so it doesn't sound good. I guess it's good that I'm on my way there, but I feel really bad for my mom. Grandma's 85 and has a variety of health problems that she just barely manages to keep from overwhelming her, I guess one of them got the upper hand.

Oh, -t. I'm sorry. You already have too much to deal with.

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

Dammit, I should do some work today...

But here's a lead paragraph to a news story I never thought I'd read about an American city:

NEW ORLEANS - An explosion jolted residents awake early Friday, illuminating the pre-dawn sky with red and orange flames over the city where corpses rotted along sidewalks and thousands remained stranded — crying for food, water and a way to evacuate.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

-t and Heather, my prayers are with you.

Thanks everyone for the kind words yesterday; I passed them on to Bob Bob and he thanks you too. Papa Bob Bob seems out of the woods (he had a small heart attack during surgery, but this may have been a blessing in disguise).

Agree that the emergency response and the response to the response has been maddeningly inadequate. But I'm going gray today to get work done.
