Capitol day
After a nice brisk 25 miles this morning, I was off to Baton Rouge for a couple of meetings involving research and research funding at Tulane and other universities affected by the hurricane. The Board of Regents handed out a memo asking for an assessment of needs for NSF-related projects and programs. They need it by noon on Monday. They handed it out around 2 p.m. on Friday. Do you see a problem here?? Guess what I'll be doing this weekend. After that meeting we waited quite a long time in order to get a few minutes with the Governor's Chief of Staff. I wish I could work on this all day tomorrow, but I really feel like we need to make an assessment of our house, so I guess I'll be making calls from the car!

rode on the levee to XU today. River Ridge area was practically untouched, others you saw damage from the levee.
Took the path down to Audubon Park and then doubled back to Carrolton. XU has 5-6 ft water marks on all buildings and is just SMELLY! My office (a small house) had water marks over the level of my desks, didn't go in, forgot my key!I don't know how we'll be back in business by January.
Rode out on Earhart Blvd, doubled back to Bonnebel, up to the levee breach in Lakefront. Out to Kenner on West Esplanade. Amazing to be able to ride on those roads, not much traffic. 1 out of every 2-3 houses had damage.
