With the impending doom of Hurricane Gustav, titled the "mother of all storms" by our "chocolate-city" mayor Ray Nagin, Aleks and I evacuated New Orleans for the second time in 3 years. This time we drove to my parents' place in Madison, MS, and on Saturday and Sunday, we waited for the storm--by the pool. It was harrowing. The water in the pool was placid but chilly, yet we endured. And the hot sun bore down, yet we tanned.
All in all, not a bad way to spend an evacuation.

markell, have you been working out?
did ya'll take some "artistic" shots later after the pool/tanning session?
i think your readership would like to see those.
did donnie tell you about vegas?
Looks like fun. We lost power here at our house in Hot Springs after Gustav AND Ike. No trees down on our place, though: snuggled up to the base of the mountain, we're pretty well protected from strong wind.
