"In the beginning they tried to get the workers to begin the workday with singing a company song and lots of other Euro-land nonsense."

I lived in germany a few years and visited most of europe, I liked a lot of that euroland nonsense, I had a lot of fun over there. Hehe My friends tell me it is much different today though - sad.

RE Slidell bridge - did you pick them up you old devil?

When I was there last year - the hurricane was coming, death was certain, I asked this pretty honey who was high stepping it to the nearest sky scraper "you need a lift sweetie" - she shot me a bird!!! - I looked over at the people riding with me and said see this fuggin attitude - even with certain death approaching you cant find a sweet ho in the big easy.

hehe I decided then if I was gonna get that kind of treatment in the BIG E with armageddon on the way I was gonna give up on american woman and I started looking to the phillipines - I have a few girls online that want to get married from bohol - hehe - but I can see that "american woman" attitude already in them - who sang that song - american woman - stay away - HAHA! They already wanting me to send them money and digital cameras so they can send naked pics back to me and all kinds of other gifts - what a RACKET!

Flash : Joe Bastardi showing a forecast track for Dennis landing near Louisianna- Florida area, expects Dennis to intensify. Also talks about 90s temps in center of US.

I used to live near the Airline Highway near the airport when I was a small child. Airline would jam up a little even then.

Whole place is a disaster waitng to happen.

It would be worthwhile to spend about 10 Billion to build about 3-4 more slightly elevated highway which can serve as evacuation routes, and improve the grades of more of the exits routes so they don't flood so quickly.

The problem you mention with Pontchatrain can happen with a Categor 3 Hurricane in the right place and time. A Cat 4 gets a much wide target zone and a Cat 5 a huge area.

There could be a disaster of Biblical proportions.
