Minor updates

There is an interesting article in the San Francisco Chronicle that compares the hurricane in New Orleans to the Fire in San Francisco and shows how much San Francisco benefited in the long run. I consider it a must read. Thanks to my sister and her husband for passing it along.

Traffic in Baton Rouge has come to a complete halt. Between everyone trying to get into Jefferson Parish, the huge amount of refugees and a few lights still out, all major streets and back streets are clogged up. I had hoped that since school started today that many people would be into more of their routine. The infrastructure is just not made for this many people.

I may be getting the scoop on New Orleans proper later this afternoon. We'll see.
