Can't believe it is already October 2005. Oh well....

My brother-in-law drove down to Slidell today. He called about 9 PM to say he left Baton Rouge at about 6:00 PM and was still not in Slidell. He said traffic is horrible. I guess it is still too early to go back. It is going to take forever to get that area back to normal.

Also heard that very few of the residents of St. Bernard had flood insurance. Unfreakin' believable!!!! How can banks provide mortgages for homes and businesses that are BELOW SEA LEVEL and not REQUIRE flood insurance!
