I had an affinity for Highway 90 before and now I love it to death. We ran into an hour or so worth of traffic around Irish Bayou and the rest was smooth sailing. Except the few times we tried to jump on I-10. Made it in just about 7 hours which is about the…

Guys Behind The Guy
Look who is fighting to be behind Nagin in this national press conference. Fielkow and Carter. Arnie looks scared. Being the guy behind the guy worked well for Bernard Kerik until he screwed up.
Air Force Transport
I just saw one of these fly over. I can honestly say I am optimistic that if the shit blows through it might not be a total fuck up afterward. And if it ends up not being a total fuck up it will make the original fuck up look that much worse because it will…
Media Fast
… nothing to suggest it’s going to not effect the area so we are heading out. As soon as we get to where we are headed the media fast will begin. I’ll allow Weather Underground, Stormpulse and NHC but I just don’t want to hear anyone telling me about the storm because, as I recall…
Just Another Gustav Post
An attempt to pronounce the various computer models is as follows… GFS – “Gifs” UKMET – “Yook-Met” NGFDL – “Nug-Fiddle” HWRF – “Hawarf!” and finally, the most awesome sounding model… NOGAPS – “No muhfuckin’ gaps! Don’t you know our name? We are no damn gaps!” ———————————- The morning forecast discussion has me utterly perplexed as…
It’s Crazy Out There!
Now Ze German is trekking to the south west (?) and they have pushed the forecast over to the west of us and pushed landfall back to early Tuesday. Yesterday they had him making landfall as a Cat 2 and now they bumped it up to a Cat 3 even though he weakened last night….
Oh Cassy
All this hurricane and Katrina talk has me thinking about a post made by an ignorant little Florida girl a while back. It was called “Hurricanes, Florida Style” and though I already retorted I saw something a week or so ago that made me think of it again. You said a lot of ignorant things…
Nola.com In Panic Mode
Edit 2: Oh, I know why Gustav is coming this weekend. It’s God punishing us again. How many times can a community get smote in one decade? Say, that reminds me, have Y’all seen this? Edit:From the 2 p.m. forecast discussion out of NHC, “One should not read much into such shifts of the forecast…
Go Away Gustav!
Fay was easily dismissed. She either was never headed in New Orleans’ direction and by the time she did, she was faded Fay. Not so much the case with this Gustav, who has an entire warm and fuel-rich Gulf to cross before he reaches landfall. Monsters are created in that trek. All the tracks point…
DNC on YES
If any one is dreading having to watch any of the “three-headed monster” of 24-hour news channels, there is hope! WYES is covering it! So less BS hopefully. I love this channel. Y’all ever catch “Stepping Out“? It’s awesome.
