I think there's another hospital ship already there, or arriving soon. As well as an aircraft carrier and some other ships.
Hey! What do you two think you're doing? Fightin' at a time like this. You'll use up all the air!

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

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'll be thinking of you as I watch Serena and Federer tonight. This year I remembered my camera, so I might get pics,
Jealousy! Please take many.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Le N, I've heard that UVA (I live in VA, work in DC) has offered to take a few students if need be. (UNC, my other alma mater, has said that they won't.)

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I know SMU is registering students on a case by case basis.

As far as the hospital ships go, I imagine they are meant to be used more as temporary replacements for the abandoned hospitals than as triage centers.

I know that the law school here at UC-Berkeley is accepting 20 2L/3L students tuition-free, with priority given to California residents. The publishing companies are arranging for free textbooks for them.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

University of Wisconsin, Illinois at Chicago, and Chicago Loyola have all jumped on the bandwagon of offering automatic admittance and financial aid packages to displaced students. I know a lot of other are doing the same.

Part of the problem: Louisiana's official hurricane plan says absolutely zero about how to handle an evacuation once New Orleans is flooded.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Awww, fuck. There are still 8-10,000 people in the Superdome. They're basically living inside a blacked out garbage heap buried in shit.
It boggles me that they are just now evacuating babies out of Charity Hospital.
Also? Two raging uncontrolled fires in New Orleans this morning.
