This is sort of interesting:
"In the years since Katrina, New Orleans’ Lower Ninth Ward has undergone a reverse colonization: nature reclaiming civilization."
More sad though.

I haven't been down that since I was a kid.  My sister and her hubby live in St. Petersburg.  I wouldn't lump it in Tampa.  Although we overshot the turn off  and my wife was driving and was freaked out a little by the bridge to Bradenton. LOL

You guys need to spend more time on the beaches. Tongue
I don't like the heat, palm trees or flat land with no mountain. Beaches are little consolation. I'm definitely in the wrong state
Geeze I'd think wildfires along I-75 would make up for that.

As you well know the category "drugs" contains a huge variety of chemicals. If giving someone something as mild as a cup of coffee's worth of caffeine would decrease their chance of being violent, you have to consider it.

As you may well know we have a big crystal meth problem in this country.  I have my doubts that caffeine is the solution.

You're one step away from self-force-medicating then, Peter Gabriel fan


Beside the fact that I've been there done that...

Pretending to be Peter Gabriel and the real thing...not the same.
