You know, the New Orleans predictions are very surreal. Last night I kept shouting at the news, "and then frogs will fall from the sky," because they did sort of keep adding things to the list of the bad.

Now CNN tells us the fire ants are going to win?

Well, as some one who used to live in Florida for most of my life, I have to say a category 5 hurricane (as it was yesterday) is nothing to sneeze at. I remember volunteering for the clean up effort in south Miami after Hurricane Andrew and I couldn't get over some of the striking images of devastation I saw. But the worst thing was the smell. Everywhere, there was this musky, horrible smell that could only be described as a combination of saltwater, sweat and blood. I really couldn't describe it any other way.
On the other hand, the media does love to play everything into the deepest fears of the lowest common denominator of people- so I do see where you are coming from.
