I was only kidding when I said that we should plan a trip to New Orleans before it sinks into the Gulf of Mexico.

Very sad and confused watching the news. The pictures are horrific, but the lack of information must be doubly so for all caught in the mess. I want to scream and throw something at the radio every time NPR repeats the line about Governor Barber claiming that "at least 100" lost in one county alone. Clearly it's much much worse than that, but the newsy types don't have any better information to share.

Like most of the blogging queers, I've been following Jonno and Richard, sending good vibes their way and hoping they can keep their shit together. Very thankful they were able to flee to be among friends. I hope one day to get to see their good city in better circumstances.
