Your gas mileage should pick up now.
It is pretty down here and Burke captures it quite well. We fared well for the hurricane but alas Lake Charles, Cameron and Vermillion Parishes took it on the chin. While the surge was not as big as Rita, the storm itself caused as much if not more damage. Difference now is that there is no companion storm in New Orleans that deflects away from the carnage around Lake Charles as it sis 15 years ago.Glad to know you are OK, Caj. It was a bad one and hard to believe it was worse than Katrina. Is the Bayou Teche really as beautiful as James Lee Burke writes ?
