This is temporary, but you won't see me on forum for a while. I'm in New Orleans and Hurricane Gustav is coming my way. You know it took me weeks to come back after Katrina. I don't think it will be so bad this time, but I am taking my family to higher ground, a couple of hundred miles inland, and nearer to family members in case we need help.

If all goes well, I will be back next week. If not, just be patient. I intend to return. It is just that Gustav has something to say about when.

Best of luck my friend. Hopefully it runs out of gas and turns into a false alarm. You guys have suffered enough.

Yes, take care Doc.

But how would you protect your house in New Orleans ?
Seal it or what ?

Hope it's not too bad for you guys.

How horrific having to live through that type of bad weather. We are so lucky here.

...just remember to be back in time to vote for the only one that can save America;Obama:cool:
Yeah, sure - even if he gets elected, he won't be what you think he should be. Based on other posts I've seen of yours, you'll still hate America anyway, so what's the point?

Now, now, smeghead, let's be nice.

BTW, I just ordered all seasons of Red Dwarf for my wife for our anniversary. I'm very excited because they stopped showing it in our area after the 3rd season.

Can you not even wish Doc good luck without slipping these in? Must every thread devolve into this?

I am relieved to hear that you will be getting out of harm's way. Good luck and I hope that you are able to return home soon.

Good luck and I hope this one blows on by. I know how long it took you to put everything back together last time.

Well if it does hit, don't rely on GWB to help - he doesn't help southern states, remember he ordered the cut in funding of the dykes.

Why do people continue to live in a hurricane area? Surely there are plenty of other places you could go.

Good luck Doc.

Where's here?
We have all heard of the problems in New Orleans but when I was down that way early in the year was shocked at the destruction all along the coast.

What's with this retired, at 26! How'd you make enough money?
