But most of all, my sympathies to anyone who has family and friends in the Gulf Coast area. When I went into work at the Isolation Bubble this morning, it was being reported on the radio that it seemed that while damage was extensive, New Orleans had largely dodged the bullet. When I emerged from the IB this evening, it was becoming obvious that such hopes were premature. I've been to New Orleans and experienced the cleaner of its many charms and I know what it's like when somewhere you love is wrecked, even temporarily. I hope that this is only half as bad as it seems right now.

It'll be awhile before there are beignets at Cafe du Monde again. And that's just wrong, because the availability of beignets at Cafe du Monde should be a universal constant.
But it'll come back. Grimy and kitchschy with lots of booze and good food and jazz. Someday.
The insurance claims, the rise in oil and power prices... depression ahoy! Watch your house prices tumble... oh, aren't I a ray of sunshine today...
