Got myself topped off for gas. So have a full tank.


Evacualtions are going on, highways are congested.

I will be hanging tight in Metairie, will post as long as I have ability to do so.

Picked up the complete works of HP Lovecraft from Barnes and Noble in Metarie, just down the street from me (Figured what better thing to read while an unholy storm screams outside) and have the all-purpose-adjustable cat.
