Stay safe and PLEASE blog as much as possible as long as you can.
Although I totally understand your reasons for staying, I wish you guys were far north away from the storm! Update as you can.

Hi Stacy! Miss you!

Chris, I have to agree with you.

I just didn’t want to say any of that and add the stress onto them.

So, thanks for saying it.

Even though I still "get it" why they want to stay.

The more I watch and the more I learn, the more I wish I could just scoop you guys up and bring you here. I’d let Craig cook me up some tasteee BBQ, of course, while Kim and I sunbathe.

But in all seriousness….even though, as Chris said, I know you know all of this…it’s quite frankly looking like worst case scenario.

Gah!

Now I’m rambling.

I’m blaming it on Chris.

Once again….be safe.

Craig, I really want to say I respect your decision, but would really urge you to reconsider.

despite all the crazy nagin/media/everybody crazy fearmongering "mother of all storms" stuff, this is not looking good. a cat 4-5 storm coming directly up the mouth of the mississippi has long been the worst case scenario, much worse than Katrina, with water brimming to the top of the levees from lake to river. that means 5-10 feet of water on magazine street. yes, it’s likely that this won’t happen, but why chance it?

I’m already sorry that I’m going to post this because I know you already know all this stuff., and it’s just added stress. but I like you and kimmie and on the off chance that this somehow influences you to change you mind, well, you might appreciate it someday.

now if you’ll excuse me, those cartoon charmin toilet paper bears are on TV. nothing like bears subtly discussing wiping their asses to calm one’s nevers.

Craig and Kim ~

Although I think you’re crazy, I completely respect your reasons for staying.

Just know that I will be thinking about you and praying for your safety as well as the safety of anyone else staying behind for reasons such as yours.

Craig, I’m gonna go ahead and take this latest blog as a personal note to myself since I gave you such a hard time on the phone earlier about not updating me. LOL. So, thank you.

As I told Kim earlier, sometimes my hot air does good and sometimes it doesn’t…and in this case, standing in my front yard blowing as hard as I can towards the south is useless. Gustov, the fucktard, is too strong for me.

Like I said, I will continue to keep you both and the entire city in my thoughts and prayers over the coming days. I love you both.
