alonewiththemoonWhat's about to happen to New Orleans is nearly incomprehensible. Maybe that's why the city has been so vibrant, because somehow deep in its foundations it knew it was doomed. ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
vicissitude, I am glad you are safe in the dusty dry Playa and I hope that the people you care for are safe. I know these news stories would not be affecting me as much if I had not been reading the story of a man falling in love with this city over the last several months.
I feel the muggy tropical air outside and I am annoyed by it after the last few days of relative cool, but then I realize that my annoyance is only the soggy outer edges of somebody else's devastation, and the humidity feels like it will choke me.
(as an aside, I noted at cnn.com a report which mentioned that 16 to 18 percent of the country's oil supply comes in through New Orleans. The price of oil is expected to jump to $100 or more a barrel by next week.)
