LOL...well, you better jump to it, oldironsides! When your family and neighbors ask why you are going camping, just tell them that Blanco called you & gave you specific instructions. You can't afford to ignore the advice of someone so tuned in as "da govner."

Maybe the two are related?

'preciate it!

:o)

[VirginiaMom]

You aren't alone in those thoughts............

[processing please hold]

You be alert.
Are you going to have much rain from this?

A key to deciphering aviation meterological data is here:

Blanco acts like some who crashes their Geo Metro and wants the insurance company to replace it with a BMW.

WDSU-
Flooding now in St. Bernhard from levee failure...

Levees being undercut in other places now....

[hummingbird]

I wanna know where Geraldo is!

Still prepping with wardrobe & makeup people.

[LA Woman3]

I am so glad you are all right! Everyone has been worried about you! Take care!

[Ichneumon]

She's cute, but I dunno, there seems to be this leather/whip aura. Thing. Around her.

You say that like it's a bad thing...

[Michael Goldsberry]

Keep in mind that we don't know if my Grandpa's barometer here is properly calibrated, but as a relative measurement, it has fallen four points since this morning. It had been reading 984mb since I dug it out last night through this morning, now at 980mb.

No rain here yet, lots of wind.

It would appear that Eaker and family have me outgunned... barely. That's no small feat.

Eaker, if you get more than a few dozen or so looters, send some my way. I want my share too.

I've heard you say this before, and I totally agree. The only other possibility is that she is dumb.

I guess it could be both possibilities.

Thanks for posting this link to the story about soldiers experiencing weird spiritual stuff in NO. Things that make you go, "Hmmmmm!" Especially the two Bibles being open to the same passage in Revelations about the flood.

[Tennessee_Bob]

Maybe we can get Spielberg and crew to airbrush out the guns and put radios in their hands ala E.T.

Or maybe daisies or something. Could be they're holding kudzu to restrain the looter or something - or they're handing him some sort of empowering literature and making him feel better about what he's doing with his life.

[ClearBlueSky]

It is widely believed, here in LA, that she was elected, but it is her HUSBAND who is the 'Governor'. Both stink. She got in because of the Edwards crowd who wanted a Cajun governor again, and the ignoramuses who didn't want Jindal because of his ethnicity.
Blanko is flakier than Kelloggs.
She's a dim-witted Cajun mawmaw who couldn't run a local garden club.
To call her inept is too flattering.

[NautiNurse]

Blanco is giving a news conference. She said, "I've asked Rita" Instead of "I've asked FEMA"! Now she is consulting the hurricane!

That is way too funny.

[Fritzy]

We are all with you and please know that prayers are heading your way... our love and comfort to your Grandmother...

Blessings... Let us know you are OK....

[dfwgator]

Blanco is probably thinking, "Cool, this means I get to go on Oprah again."
