Flee! Flee to Jackson! Flee to Memphis! Flee to Houston, Little Rock, or Shreveport. Hell, Baton Rouge is better than staying in town. Just go - get out of that deathtrap of a bowl! The Causeway and I-10W are gonna be PACKED tomorrow.. if they aren't already..

10. Maybe he decided to head for the storm in Crawford. |
|
DA, sorry I didn't get back to you yesterday. The folks at DFW were less than cooperative and then some and I'm so sorry to report I was never able to get what you left for me.
I am taking care of the tent issue this am though and DU will be recognized! Thanks. And sorry about DFW, please forgive, after spending over an hour out there and raising a little bit of hell later with MidWest I became just a little bit more than paranoid, it was all very strange.

32. Amen. If this monster comes ashore at 145 mph, it will kill |
|
thousands by drowning by flooding and storm surge. In Florida we didn't have to deal with those kind of winds, maybe 90 mph tops.

42. I rode out Gloria 1985 -- one of the stupidest things I ever did |
|
So please take everyone's advice. If your parents can travel, please, please get out of town. At the very least find a tall, brick building where you can hang out at the 5th floor or above.

17. My PM from him this week, hope his plans change |
|
I'm taking a break from DU starting this week (though I am responding to PMs). School is too important, as I am taking 15 hrs and writing a masters thesis this semester in order to graduate. Time is of the essence... I don't know where this country is headed, which is why I opted for another masters degree immediately, and will return to the PhD next Spring.
Isn't this Pat Robertson scandal (diversion) amazing??? Hell, when do they start the witch trials again?!? If it were Whoopie Goldberg, Bill Maher, or Janet's boob who said something like Robertson did, their head would already be on a pike - if you are a white, republican x-tian, in this country, it is OK to openly advocate killing people on TV... Robertson should have been arrested already... in a fair system.
OK, gotta get ready for class!
peace, SR
