That crap is insane.. i was just in New Orleans only a month ago enjoying canal street and the rest of the french quarter.. stayed in the Sheraton there on Canal. I can't believe the TV shots and pictures i've seen in the last couple days..



I hope that when i plan to return there, it will still be there... and hopefully not changed.

Been seeing some of the crazy **** on the news here too. Glad to hear your ok, but it looks like alot of people there aren't. Looks as though it'll take awhile to recover.

Thanks for the kind words. Hope you guys can enjoy the old city if itever gets back to being a party destination.



Well I have flood insurance like most and we pay out the ***.

A little thought:



Remember New Orleans is one of the most strategic ports in the US. The city was built in he 1700. Like the gold rush people flocked here from all over the world.

So for several hundred years the design worked but since the run off has been developed into FEDERALLY funded housing "projects" it now had to be pumped out.

The world comes to the city to do what they dont do at home.

They city has had white flight for the last 15 years and lost its top taxbase and all the Fortune 500 comp. wonder why? What you see on TV is 4 generations of your tax dollars running around like animals. A cycle of people who live for the system.

The government should have helped with restoration of the coastal wetlands,

All the bazzilionz of barrels of oil and natureal gas that the US used from LA. was "stripped mined fashion" by drilling in the coastal beaches and swamp.This allowed all the water and past hurricanes to "wash" away our coast. The islands stopped the surges 20 miles away from the lowest people. the taxes for drilling went to washington was then used to clean up the Chesepeak Bay and the Florida Everglades restoration project.Louisiana never got that for tearing up its state.

Thats what the bitching has been about for 15 years. Who work the shipping(docks) and oil refineries here if they dont live here?

The feds owes LA protection by design.....not FEMA.
