Katrina fall-out

And now, for some aviation content: The looters in New Orleans are
SHOOTING at rescue helicopters!

They are just exercising their constitutional right to bear arms;-)

Hurricane Rodney King ...I shake my head at the area's local, city, state
and federal govt officials more though, WRT those levees ...and about ten
other issues.

It's like the potato famine in Ireland, when do you say 'enough is enough'
and make the decision to leave all that you've ever known? (Now would be a
good time)

Head north, or west, on foot and I'm sure that over a distance of 30-40
miles people will have garden hoses that you can drink from - 15 hour walk
for someone out of shape. Next day walk another 30-40 miles and I bet a
family, or a church, would take you in. I'd take in someone who walked 75
miles over two days!!

Walk another 25 miles the third day - I bet your accommodations would
improve the further away from NO you'd get. By day four you should be able
to catch a ride. To where? I don't know - where do Mexicans go when they
walk across the border? To jobs...

This isn't for everyone, but I would think 10%-20% of the needy refugees(?)
left in the flooded city could make it work for them.

Good luck.

Very good analogy, Paul!
Thousands of Mexicans cannot be wrong.
They walk for miles with very little food and water.
And it is amazing how many jobs there are for them.
Just think, if only 50% of those Oleanders struck out on foot, they
would be gainfully employed, food in their bellies and have a roof over
their heads within a week!

But they can't survive on tamales and tortias... Well maybe with some
Tabasco and Tony Chachere's... And beer, lots of Jay's beer...

700 refugee students were registered for school in Lafayette parish
today, over 200 here at Eunice high school, 7 in Iota. These are just
the ones that arrived here, after they were told to evacuate...

There are very few routes out of NO that don't start on a (recently
deceased) bridge.
