Human life first, but oh the animals in LA...

My son evacuated with his grandkids, leaving his daughter in charge because she's an essential worker and somebody has to feed the pig and chickens and ducks and dogs.

They're on the North Shore and might get gusts over 100mph and there are huge trees all around. At least the dogs will be inside.

Multiply this by hundreds of similar households... The choices are few.

1. Oh... you mean Louisiana. Not Los Angeles.

It's not looking good.

2. That's the main reason I decided to stay in New Orleans.

I have 4 indoor cats and 6 that live on my property. There was no way to evacuate all 10 of them with me so . . . I have to stay to take care of them.

I hope your family on the North Shore stays safe.

3. They'll be much happier with you there, of course. Stay well.

5. Thanks.

4. Poor things, including your granddaughter. Best to all.

Reminds me also of all the animals who will have to fend for themselves. Fortunately, given half a break they mostly tend to be good at it.
