I am sitting in the Sheraton waiting for the Miss Klingon Pageant to start. The boys went over the Hyatt to check the art room and see Brian’s booth. It’s just too damned hot for me to traipse up there and back. Bleh.
But, anyway, the dejà vu part is that this time 3 years ago we were dealing with Katrina and this year we’re on pins and needles waiting for Gustav. I tell you, the Universe has it out for NOLA. I don’t think it’ll stop till there’s nothing but a greasy spot left.
I hope that the storm bears west and spares NOLA the brunt. I hope everyone evacuates this time as instructed and there is no loss of life. Stuff can be rebuilt – although I think rebuilding anything in the low areas is folly at this point. You can’t hold back Mother Nature forever. She’s simply reclaiming what was hers before. Let her have it.
It’s a Con Sunday. Not having a room has been grand. We’ve been IN the Con rather than hanging out in the room and we’ve seen SO many people. Big Shout Out to Miss Scarlet oh, MY it was good to see you!
So, onward to finish the Con. I hope everyone in NOLA is safely on their way to somewhere else. ::hugs::
