but I'm glad to hear there are traffic jams in New Orleans now. A sign that things are finally getting back to normal.

My daughter (who lives in Northern California now) used to like to go there for Mardi Gras whenever she could. She has a friend she can stay with when she's there. She's going to be spending Christmas week there with her friend (who was living in Seattle since Hurricane Katrina but is moving back), and it will be the first time she's seen New Orleans since the hurricane. I hope the devastation doesn't shock her too much, but I don't think she was familiar with the hardest-hit areas anyway. I told her I expect a full report when she gets back.
