sands If it is that costly...perhaps it is time to move inland...one expert suggested that allowing the wet lands to return which would help the problem with surges...but there is no guarantee as you said to completely make people safe when hurricanes hit...but I think many will evacuate now that they have lived through that experience...
derty If you watch the documentary...it mentions that the pump systems were not designed to deal with the amount of water from a storm such as this or pumping the water out of the city...adding to the problem the levies were undermined...not properly constructed... In any city where hurricanes are going to take place...the government needs to provide these cities with monies to upgrade such infrastructure and listen to those with knowledge regarding such matters of evacuation planning not to mention their predictions...they predicted that New Orleans would sink if a category 5 landed...
The people that stayed behind were not properly informed or not given the financial help to evacuate...and adding to that there was inadequate response/help to attend to the crises in the aftermath of the hurricane...IMO...
zman Well hard to imagine being so young (ish) that I had to worry about it...but your right...the older you get...the more you will experience loss...
lind His blogs were very well thought out and very funny as well...going to miss him around here...like I said before...a chance to finally meet Simmo personally would have been a blast...
zman It is hard to believe still...I just e-mailed Simmo before his passing just to keep in touch...wanted him to post a blog...I feel very sad...hope non is okay... and you as well...
lind Horrible that she duped not only Simmo but others here as well...not to the extent Simmo experienced but he certainly wasn't alone in the deceit...will miss his witty blogs...and his kindness...
crazy I found out about Simmo when I was going to work night shift...he was just on the site a few days ago...a quieter person for whatever reasons but still there to read the blogs...watching over us and probably laughing at us...because were are such a pathetic bunch at times!!...
Needless to say I wasn't my usual happy self when I heard the news...just thinking about mortality in general and how life can be cut short...
lind I remember when he told me about Lk...thought he was joking but only to be surprised that it was in fact true...how cruel some people are...but Simmo was a great detective...and managed to reveal her true identity...too bad that we didn't have a chance to meet him in person...it would have been fun...
nick Smoking a bit of pot isn't really a problem...but when you start getting into drugs that are cut with others substances...it can be lethal...a few people in Vancouver found out the hard way...tell your son to be careful...not something to try...just avoid it...
ken Here in Canada...we are getting fatter too...blame the internet and gaming...and the loss of physical education in the schools...but since it is colder here...you could survive better with body fat...lol...that is my excuse...
Water would be of great importance for the expected 72 hour time it would take for a response team regarding a natural disaster...food not much to worry about...unless you are diabetic...juice could help and sugar tablets in the mean time...medications I think would be important as well...but being reasonably physically fit would be ideal...less dependency on medications and type 2 diabetes (not insulin dependent)could be diminished...
Mother nature is becoming more unpredictable...who knows what will be nest...stock up folks...it maybe a bumpy ride in the years to come...
Co Not interested in your so called perfect formula...hard to fathom why any female would find this list attractive?...why don't you just hire a maid?...
nick Such is life...work hard and continue to work for the system...but some break free and become their own boss...rewarding but hard work just the same...hope your good!!
sands Thanks for your comments...for those that never been in a relationship with a person who has psychopathy...good to know there is a support group out there...hard to imagine the stories some would have to tell...
ken I remember watching a program about him...he was living at large for years...finally he got caught from the most wanted show...have to wonder why he decided to kill his family rather than walk away?...
