Nothing new to report, either on the personal front or from my friends in the “strike zone”–which, in this case, was thankfully the “near-strike zone”. Seems like Gustav was mostly a non-event in New Orleans proper: you know, terrifying and everything, but not…well, not like last time. If/when I hear good stories from the housemate/nurse or from my pal Dorian, who rode it out at a restaurant on Bourbon Street, I’ll pass ‘em on.

P.S. Same goes for Lafayette and Baton Rouge, where the storms seems to have been much worse.
