Jeez, Humberto came out of nowhere yesterday, eh?
And now I'm worried: I'm supposed to be celebrating my thirtieth birthday (technically Sept. 20) with family and friends and a trip to the hometown of New Orleans tomorrow. The idea was to kick back and hopefully achieve some acceptance of how I spent my dissolute twenties--aka doing odd stuff like writing a hurricane book.

Chris - No, I am praying that Our Lord God stike at sinners everywhere. And I hate everyone that is not one of us, where us = chubby, jowelled white Republican Male, and Proper God-fearing Women.
HTH :)
