Hi Dinah. Yep, only one way to say it. St. Bernard just ain't 'dere no more.

Evacuation is kind of a curse word. You know that. What you have to go through just to get out of Louisiana. 21 hours from my house to this little town in Alabama, that should have only taken about 3-4 hours to travel.

If i would evacuate, i'd be taking my tent with me. Can't afford hotel rooms and don't want to invade on friends. Which many will have to evaucate themselves. I just need to make sure my parents are safe. But they themselves continue to say they are going down with the house. We've talked about it, as every one else has done. And we are most probably staying. Can't take another one, so why put ourselves through the whole aftermath process.

All this cement from these slabs they need to tear out, they should go fill the MRGO with. Hell, the city, New Orleans East, here. They could do a good job of it. Have you seen the cement piles out in bay st louis, pass christian and gulfport? We could sure use that to fill the GO. But i know its never going away. Its going to do the sam thing it did before. For Gustave and Huberto last year it made it to a foot below the levee. And thanks Corps for fixing our levees. NOT!

Ah, you aint' throwing the mom talk at me. I'm use to all this stuff.

Thanks for talking to me about it.
