Come home, Snoopy, come home

ATTENTION MR. STONEY:

You need to leave New Orleans. Tonight. I don't care about your job. The storm surge is expected to be 13 feet, not to mention the high winds, and HEY! They don't even bury people underground there. Wanna know why? Because New Orleans is BELOW sea level. You dig a hole and it fills up with water. Wanna bet the whole town will look like that by tomorrow night?

Schools have been closed today. Federal buildings are currently sending people home to PACK. Not just to stay there, but to PACK and LEAVE. Remember 5 years ago when you were stuck in the tropical storm outside of Houston? How you had to stay in your car and watch the water rise and couldn't drive anywhere because everyone was fleeing at the same time? Let's not repeat that, shall we?

So, there is a Southwest flight leaving every hour on the half hour to DFW. Let's get your sweet little ass on one, 'kay?

That is all.
Love, your wife.

So I had to run to the grocery store and get sundries.  Got home, unpacking said sundries and my $5 bean dip isn't there.  "5 dollars?  For bean dip?"  It's Martin and Lewis all the way, baby.  I head back to the store and the checkout girl (who is Miss Cult of Personality, believe me) is staring into nothingness.  I approach her and ask if she found my bean dip after I left.  Without saying a word, or breaking her stare, she reaches behind her back and pulls out a bag containing my bean dip.  I said, "thank you," and she mutters "uh huh," and goes back to staring.  At nothing.  Sucks to work at Kroger's I guess.

( a list - it's fun to group things! )

Mr. Stoney is home! To all my buds in LJland out there in the path, specifically Bliss_V and ResistResit and Xanphibian: be careful and Fly, My Pretties!!! Get the hell out of dodge. Or Tallahasse. Or wherever you are that is in peril.

From yahoo!news: The worst-case scenario for New Orleans — a direct strike by a full-strength Hurricane Ivan — could submerge much of this historic city treetop-deep in a stew of sewage, industrial chemicals and fire ants, and the inundation could last for weeks.

YUM. The Big Sleazy. Where are all of the Gay Vampires going to go???
