I made it back from the tropical storm infested New Orleans late last night. As it turns out, most of that city over-reacted to the threat of the storm. We got alot of rain - something like 14 inches at my hotel, and the streets were flooded from about 4PM on Wednesday until the early morning hours of Thursday. But, by the time I rolled out of bed and got checked out of the hotel, it wasn't raining, wasn't flooded, there wasn't debris all over the place - and yet dang near everything was still closed down.

I had 7 hours from the time I checked out of the hotel until my plane left, and the movie theatres were closed, the mall near me was closed - so I went to the airport figuring I'd just read a book and eat there. Nice idea except that the food places in the airport were all closed too - except for the ice cream stand.

And now that I'm home it looks like its going to rain today. I feel like Charlie Brown.
