Extispicy: Hurricane Katrina & My Friends

Hurricane Katrina & My Friends

As anyone who reads this regularly would know, I have a bunch of friends who live in New Orleans, including (especially) my co-editors, Melusine and the Marquis. As I've been getting some queries as to how they are in the aftermath of Katrina, I thought I'd post a note here to say that I've now heard from (or about) all my friends who live there -- and they're all okay, thus far.

Melusine (aka Hespeth aka Liz) happened to have stayed in her apartment in the French Quarter. I've been hearing periodically from her from the day before the hurricane hit.

The Marquis lives in New Orleans but was visiting in NY when Katrina started moving towards the Gulf Coast. So, for the past few days, he's been freaked out and frustrated to be so far away from home while this has been going on. He started compiling all sorts of news from the official news sources as well as all sorts of bits and pieces everyone we know who's not in the city has heard from those who are still in New Orleans. So, for that, see his LiveJournal.

"It's feeling very Mad Max around here." -- Melusine

Yeah, from the last thing I heard, it sounds like the aftermath is shaping up to be quite a bizarre thing.

Hardly really know what else to say about it right now. Other than "yow."

I must admit I was grateful to do it -- for my own sanity! It was like that line Alan Rickman says in the movie version of "Sense & Sensibility" when he was stuck waiting outside the door to what's-her-face's sickbed -- "Give me an occupation or I will run mad!"

So, I was glad to have the occupation of relaying info. Otherwise, I think I just might have run mad!

The anti-impotency treatment you are going to adopt just after being identified with erectile dysfunction is not likely to yield any fruitful result if you do not abide by the precautionary instructions recommended by the physician. For instance, after procuring viagra online if you administer cheap viagra without providing the necessary details to the doctor with regard to your medical history then there are chances that viagra intake might prove disastrous for you. Most particularly, if you are taking nitrate based medicine such as nitroglycerin patches to treat a specific medical condition you should inform the doctor immediately so that he doesn’t suggest you to buy viagra. The usage of Viagra by any person using nitrate-based medicines can trigger off health disaster and so to avoid the imminent harm explain your medical history to the doctor and avoid to buy viagra online if the drug is not meant for you.
