I am back on the "storm comfort food diet". Tonight it's lasagna, garlic bread, red wine, and 5 more pounds!
But it's keeping me sane.![]()
Yummmm...I wish I had a storm!

We have a live TV feed from a NOLA station here in Houston. I am so encouraged to watch the professional and organized way the powers to be have risen to this awful occasion. My hat is off to the people of LA and my prayers are sent to them wherever they are.
I hope what I have heard about the storm losing some power before landfall holds true. If Gustav hits as reported, NOLA is on the east side of the eye. Bad for water accumulation, especially if it lingers.
What say the weather bugs?
The sober meteorologists in New Orleans are feeling pretty good about this storm hitting cool water between now and the strike and the intensity waning to the point of a weak 3 or strong 2. My source in the Corps of Engineers feels good about New Orleans proper, the concern is the west bank of the Mississippi River. Time will tell.
The most recent Dave Barry book I'm reading talks about how much worse these storms would be if it weren't for the barrier of newspersons putting themselves between the storm and the beach as a buffer just so they can tell us that it's windy.
It would be the humanitarian thing to do.............go to NO and line em up!
...and thanks for that humor!Call me crazy but something tells me Gustav is going to hit Louisiana. How often do they all line up like this? Myst be a record or something...
