X's mom called from Houston she is there with her sister who evacuated to a hotel that was over run by looters.

Hopefully in a while it will not be an issue anymore.

I was happy to hear from my father, even though I do not like him. He and his aging, floozy of a girlfriend are safe in Florida. So glad. It was wonderful to hear from him. As it turns out I am probably the only one who has copies of the wedding pictures. If someone can tell me how to get the images off of the professional photographer's disc, then ( Read more... )

As if the actual hurricane were not bad enough, a levee broke, so Lake Pontchartrain is pouring into the city. The water keeps rising at record speed. I feel so helpless.
