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.
Glad to hear that you are prepared, Nora.
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!
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.
It actually happened in Betsy. Did not happen in Katrina.
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).
Thanks for the 411 everybody.
Skipping oh-my-goodness-so-much (everybody is OK, right? Despite weather going crazy?) and after missing oh-so-many days and important dates (though my very brief skimming showed how well y'all got my back, and thanks!), in order to post that, according to flea "If the Apocalypse Comes, Beep Me" Aug 30, 2003 7:37:26 am PDT , today is Casper's birthday.
Happy birthday, Casper! I can't believe you're such a big girl by now! With lots of wishes for your mom, your brother, and all your family, as well!
