Hey Katy Sails NASA says
The comet fragments are going to miss earth by 5 million miles.
Still I'm scared, let me know if the birds run for high ground! BTW how do the birds know about the comet heading towards us? Capt Suzy 35s5 NY |

You should have seen us in the traffic driving out of New Orleans just
before Katrina on the one-way freeway. We were in bumper-to-bumper almost all the way into Houston. They returned the roads to two-way about 50 miles out of the city. It was an interesting experience. Frank |

I would have liked to see the see the underway replenishment detail working from fuel trucks. The few gas stations open had lines flowing into and out of them to/from the massed traffic on the road. At that, there seemed to be many cars pulled over on the shoulder out of gas all along the way. Same for food places. And bathrooms... ick! We first stopped a bit West of Baton Rouge cuz we used most of a tank just covering 100 miles or so at the stop-and-go pace. While I waited in line for gas, Ronnie and the girls went in and got in the food line and bathroom line. Imagine a bathroom used by thousands of people continuously hour after hour without cleaning service. It was WAY nasty. Interesting side notes about Katrina taht stuck in my mind: Even after K hit, gas was cheaper in N. O. than in Houston, by about $.50/gal. Whatever you think of Mayor Nagin, he was in the media the week before K hit telling people to get out of town. I remember him saying the Wednesday before that he couldn't *order* an evacuation but if you could possibly get out, you should. Finally, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police had rescue/aid forces in the New Orleans area right after the storm and a full week before FEMA showed up from their "nearby" staging area, from which they were "unable" to get to some areas quickly. Wonder how those mounties managed? Thanks, Canada. The Red Cross was there, too. FEMA was MIA. |

Vito wrote: FWIW FEMA says they cannot do anything until local/state authorities ask them for specific help - and nobody asked. I guess going on TV and saying "We need help" is not specific enough? What's clear to me is that a lot of people want to play it for politics. One issue I have personal experience with... the naval auxiliary hospital & supply ships were not given orders until 5 days after the disaster, and of course take several days to steam to their destination, making a huge delay. Problem- private contractors are paid big bucks to keep those ships ready to go, and those orders *could* have been issued at least a week earlier when it became obvious they would be needed. Two specific places in which the officials involved were grossly incompetent... to a degree worthy of jail time IMHO. No other explanation. DSK |

Vito said:
FWIW FEMA says they cannot do anything until local/state authorities ask them for specific help - and nobody asked. Ack! What? Well, now I have a new saying: There are four kinds of lies - lies, damned lies, statistics, and FEMA justifications. Every official in both Louisiana and Mississippi from the governor on down was begging for aid from any and all sources. FEMA was sitting around scratching its collective fundament somewhere high and dry and safe. Plus, this statement contradicts other FEMA position statements which declared that they were on their way when they were ordered to hold short because it would be impossible to get their equipment in. So which is it? Not asked or on our way and tried really hard but couldn't get there? They can't both be true. Like I said, the MOUNTIES managed to get in. The Red Cross managed to get in. Many, many private charities managed to get in. Having been there myself, and having most of my immediate family there, I'd like to extend a grateful "Thank you!" to the RCMP, the Red Cross, et al. And I'd like to extend a hearty "F*ck you!" to FEMA. Frank and krewe |
