Well, the city is now on full-on hurricane alert. The mayor called for voluntary evacuation this evening, and Tulane has cancelled classes until Friday and will close the dorms Wednesday morning (although we have to report to work tomorrow). I'm guessing there won't be a whole lot of non-essential personnel around, however. "The Mom" is catching a plane to Chicago tomorrow morning, so we'll be driving her out to the airport at 9 a.m., which will probably take us an hour or two if traffic is all backed up with people leaving town. We'll be taking care of "The Dog." It will be interesting. I went out around 7 p.m. to put gas in the car, but the lines were about two blocks long so I bailed. If we have to evac, we'll put our car in Tulane garage for the duration and head out in "The Mom's" relatively new Saturn. Hopefully, it won't come to that, but nobody seems to have much confidence in the projected path until some time tomrrow afternoon when it's supposed to make a turn to the North. If that happens as expected, it'll be good for us, and if it doesn't it'll be practically too late to get out. I wonder how many people are going to show up for the levee training ride tomorrow morning at 6:15?
Are we having fun yet??
