From yesterdays newspaper.

[Officials in Louisiana reported progress on two critical tasks: flood
water removal and power restoration.

''We're probably looking at least another few weeks or maybe even a month"
to pump water out of the city, said Art Jones, chief of the recovery
division of the Louisiana Office of Emergency Preparedness.]

Well, here we are. Streets are mostly dry, residents returning,
some bars and restaurants are open. Plans for Mardi Bras
underway. Right on schedule. And, as soon as the new levee is
completed, the problem won't happen again.

I'd not count on that. This was no head-on strike at high tide
with the Mississipi in flood stage by a cat 5 or 5+.

BTW, Latest news reports still put the dewatering out beyond
your 3 weeks IIRC.
[
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers spokesman Dan Hitchings said the work
could now be complete by Oct. 18, about 40 days after pumping began.
]
I wonder where they found all the spare pumps. Power plants?

Where is the 10,000
dead?

Do you really need them? Why?

I think I'll drop by New Orleans in a few months and pick up some
property, and stop in at Pat O'Brien's for a real *Hurricane*.



"New Orleans is dead. And its never coming back. While they are
still trying to perform CPR on it and there is still a bit of
brain activity..there is no hope for the patient.."

I went through this privately already. I would rather the humans
drowned than the animals, which I consider a higher life form, and
from what I can see on TV, they indeed are a higher life form.


d@mn PETA republicans :-)

I will under no circumstances, abandon my animals. They come with me,
or we stay here together. That's just me. Everybody has to decide
for themselves what is important. They are as much a part of my
family as any of the humans, and maybe the better part.

Lg

I am right there with you on this point. If some stranger
came to the house and said "got to leave but you can't bring your
cats", I would say "Nope, if I go, they go". If anything else
was said, I would reply with "well, tell you what. I will leave
my cats if you will leave your kids".
That usual shuts folks up.
I bet the folks that are REALLY ****ed are the ones that
had to leave their animals, and, NOW are seeing folks being allowed
to TAKE their critters.

In any case, it was a badly handled situation all around,
and, many thoughtless and inhumane actions were taken. We Americans
should, rightly, be embarressed, and the folks in NO and LA
that behaved in such a mindless fashion should be truly ashamed.

Sedation or a strong, heavy container may be your only options.

sheesh

Pick them up by the scruff of their necks.

Be sure to get there hips with the other hand or they can still twist
around and rip you a big one.

And when you get free of them, don't just drop them.
Throw them so that you have a fighting chance while they figure out
that they are free if they will just go away. ;-)

"Pax Americana is a philosophy. Hardly an empire.
Making sure other people play nice and dont kill each other (and us)
off in job lots is hardly empire building, particularly when you give
them self determination under "play nice" rules.

Think of it as having your older brother knock the **** out of you
for torturing the cat." Gunner

i bathe my 4 cats regularly. no shower door or curtain (walkin snail
shower). they just stand there and i use the hand sprayer on them. most of
the time i don't have to even hold them. i also used to take them swimming
in my pool, when i had a house with a pool.

there's a lion/tiger refuge near here that has a very large swimming pool
for their large cats, which enjoy taking dips frequently.
