Oh my, yes. Booze and a whole lot of beer. Will help with power outages related discomfort.

Heh, I wish I was as optimistic as you when it comes to our fine levee repairing folks in the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. But I am hoping to be proven unnecessarily cynical!
Hey! The levees work just fine if you're not blowing up the sections in the poor part of town to save the rich part of town!

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I choose to believe this will be a good test for the new levee system and it will come through beautifully.
You haven't watched The Big Uneasy, have you? Yeah.
Tub is full of water. Now to remember to keep bathroom door shut so fool cats don't drown selves. My credit union is going to be closed tomorrow, but the ATMs will work as long as there's power. Transferred $$ to checking just in case.
Should I fill up freezer bags? Huh. I guess I'll do a few, though my freezer is mostly full of water bottles. And then, for really realz, bed.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Glad to hear that you are prepared, Nora.

Did they really? Oy, that's heartbreaking.

Burrell, that's the conspiracy theory with Katrina, and I know it was floated around Betsy too, but I don't remember if that was true or wild accusation.

Cereal: the whole levee thing gives credence to the saying "never attribute to malice that which can be explained by stupidity" (or incompetence and general corruption in this case.)

Not during Katrina. I don't have the spoons to get into it right now.

Not to mention the pumps. Oy, the pumps.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
It actually happened in Betsy. Did not happen in Katrina.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Thinking good thoughts for NOLA.
Anyway, I had 36 hours off, so that's really nice.
Here's hoping you can get more of that (without having to deal with the bad nurses first).
