A Couple of Question about the Flood

Ok, so a couple of things have been running around in my head since this whole thing started.

1. Who first saw the levee start to give way (in any of the 3 locations) and what time?

2. Who first reported the levee's were leaking, and quite a distinction it is. Oh and what time did this happen?

3. And what media outlets (I know there had to be at least ONE radio station still on the air) started jumping up and down and shouting over the air that NO was flooding and get the hell out? Did any?

I am confused, but i will find answers to these and more questions, or at least what i can find out by searching thru google.

All I can say is it sucks that so many people have lost so much. This is the first disaster (natural and man assisted) that I have been alive for. At least this close to home. With my brother and his room mate living on 18th Street less than a mile from the break in the 17th St Canal. Every once in a while they show a view up the canal from the river and you can see the one tall building you can see from his house.

I still wonder what made them leave for this one, or what made me call him for the first time to say get out (as he and his room mate were loading cars and dogs for a LONG drive to Florida)

They are safe, moving from Florida to Baton Rouge this week. Hoping to start getting going again, they work for a Health Care Provider and are anxious to get back up and running so that people are taken care of.

Its late and I am rambling, so I hope we find answers and I really really hope and this he said she said BS stops and some answers start coming.

Kev's House in New Orleans

The Link goes to the full size pic at the NOAA website Full Size Photo Here
To find his house:
1. Find the Canal (middle of the pic, running East and West)
2. Scroll to the far right of the pictures (helps to be looking at it full resolution) and keep the canal toward the bottom of the screen.
3. Go up from the canal to the second row of houses
4. Counting in you have: Double dark brown roof, a roof that looks like the letter C, square house, rectangle house, street,..... Kevin and Stevens house.

How close are they? I believe if you were to double the width of the picture to the left you would be able to see the break...

WoW

As Read at Yahoo! News

The Milky Way is a large, spiral galaxy that contains the sun, solar system and billions of stars that make a luminous band as seen by the naked eye. Its precise size, shape and mass are still unknown.

Billions of galaxies make up the universe and are mostly spiral or elliptical in shape. Galaxies that have stellar bars cut through the center is rare, but not unheard of, scientists say.

Do me a favor, read that again and think about it for a couple of minutes.....


OK, Did you say what i did? WOW

It'll be blind luck if we ever run into anyone else out here.

Here I am an ant in New York, wonder if I will ever meet that ant on Pluto? And thats probably an understatement......

Bound to happen to someone, anyone who actually thought the players got the better end of the stick should have to resign!!!

OK, knew it could happen, really didn't think it would, Miro has been here forever, and sure people talk about how he takes a shift or even a game off here and there, though you really couldn't prove it by me. He has been our leading scorer forever it seems. He has been the ONLY bright spot at times the last few years.... So him and Lindy don't get along, deal with it. I personally think he has grown a ton. He is one of our best penalty killers. He logs a ton of Ice time. Hmm, I remember him being on the ice more than anyone other than Alex at the end of a tight game, is it any wonder he has a lot of empty net goals? Empty net is easy to hit, but you have to be on the ice to be able to hit it....... I really hope the powers that be wake up and realize what we will be losing, I know Miro won't last long on the open market, and I really hope Vanek is ready to fill those shoes, I just think they are much bigger shoes to fill than a LOT of people in this town have ever given Miro credit for wearing.

Buffalo Sabres Free Agents

Buffalo Sabres

Seeing this article got me thinking, so out comes the paper and pencil and I start looking at the list and filling out who goes where. At least as far as warm bodies go. I am not really sure how active the Sab's will be at least as far as forwards go.....
Vanek Drury and Briere. Hecht Roy and Afinogenov. Griere Dumont and Kotalik. 9 guys I definitely like on my team, Still leaves Bolton, Mair, Taylor (led the Amerks in scoring last year) and Peters to scrap for a couple of 4th line spots, and wait, totally forgot about Connolly and Pyatt, and still have Satan floating around here somewhere too. Starting to see why the powers that be like our team pretty much as it is. Oh wait, what about Pominville, Gaustad, and Bartovic still waiting in the wings down in Rochester. I am sure they will have something to say come training camp days.

Biron, Noronen or Miller? Oh, my, there are at least two dozen other teams in the league who wish they had that problem to solve.... nuf said.

Now on to the Defense. Fitzpatrick, McKee and Kalinin will all be back I would think. I wouldn't mind seeing Alex back in the black and red for another year, here is where we may be able to grab an impact free agent or two.... a truly offensive minded blue liner to run the power play.

Damn, not even August and I'm starting my countdown to opening day now..... Need to work some more OT so I can get at least a 10 pack for the season.
