BTW, how'd you sleep that night in that chichi hotel on my dime?  Racked with guilt I bet.

Two nights actually. :)

The fan was a little loud so there was some hardship.  No guilt really, I look at as a special tax rebate.

I am happy that I’m not on some roof top in New Orleans wondering if I gonna die.

You probably would have been smart enough to leave when they told you to get the hell out.

The majority of the people that stayed behind did not do so out of choice.  The middle class white folks with cars ran away and left the poor, mostly black population with many disabled to fend for themselves.  They ended up in shelters and the Superdome and are only being evacuated today.  However, police have halted evacuation efforts to rally against looters.
No place I'd rather be...

Quite the post-apocalyptic, Lord of the Flies scene down there.  Absolutely horrifying.  Then again, I'd be looting stores for water and food, too, if my survival depended on it.  I'm sure it gets to a point where it's every man for himself.

Back to the price of gas... $1.13 this morning at my end of the world.

Many local stations were in the $1.20+ range last night.  The Crappy Tire gas bar was $1.249. I found a 'bargain' at $1.056/L.  I filled up both vehicles as I doubt I'll find it cheaper anytime soon.   :-[

Exactly $1 cheaper than what I paid in Italy in June, difference is, it has only gone up 7.5 cents since then, not 30 cents.
What you won't find in my car is a coffee, cigarette and a cell phone. What you will find is a driver; imagine that, a driver in a vehicle. What an effing concept!
