Yes, about 25 to 30% if I remember the CNN report. That leaves quite a
few.

So how long does it take to call them up, marshall them together and
transport them in?

I'm impressed they've done it as quickly as they have. I would have
expected longer given the transportation issues.

Keep in mind that our long distance service is out
for the most part. Anywhere you want to call, town to town, etc. is
typically long distance.

I'll do that

How many days has it been since Katrina?

4

Maybe
you're confusing Louisiana with something the size of Rhode Island, D.C.
or New Jersey...

No, I live close enough that there was a good chance Katrina was heading
my way.

I'm curious, why do you think I'm confused about the size of Louisiana?
All I did was report the percentage of NG troops from LA not stationed
in Iraq (at least according to CNN).

You have me bewildered.

This is kinda cool.

I've been doing the usenet thing since 1985 and in those 20 years I'm
pretty sure this is the first time I've been "Plonked." Do I get a
plaque or something?
