    Hurricane Katrina

    What are you saying, Andy, Shamus... I don't get it. Do you actually think it's the current administrations fault that the people did not evacuate New Orleans? Hell there are people that still won't leave. Do you think it's Bush's fault that the Governor didn't mobilize the Nat'l Guard...

    Hurricane Katrina

    Samus you misunderstood... What I was trying to say was, where was all the money from Congress to fix the levys? It's not the job of the Pres to know about the Golden Gate Bridge, it's the Senators and Congressmen from that State and District, Mayors and Governor. They then go to the Congress...

    Hurricane Katrina

    Shamus...It wasn't Bush's fault... Go lay your blame on someone else, like the Mayor of New Orleans or the Gov. of LA for starters. I think Bush deserves alot of praise and credit, quite frankly. How many millions is he sending to the area in relief. Oh that's right, Congress had to aprove...

    Hurricane Katrina

    Shamus, The Congressional Ways and Means Committie are the one that aprove money for special projects like levy reinforcement etc...not the President. Why were the levys not reinforced during the Clinton admin.

    Airfrog... Here's a better scenario, I'm on a business trip and am unable to get home for a few days for logistical reasons, say I'm over seas. My wife is home and is fully able to care for my kids. We have a contingency plan that we planned to emplement in case of emergency. The kids are...

    Virginia origionally here too, grew up around Centerville back when it was rural and Dulles was a small airport.

    Hurricane Katrina

    But, Andy, you can't blame Bush... He's the one that told the Democrat Gov. of LA to get off her butt and order the evac and ask for Federal assistance.

    MD is still below the Mason Dixon Line, y'all.

    It's just a joke, so don't take it personally...The folks on the Eastern Shore refer to the folks from Baltimore as Baltimorons.

    A sad day for me

    Sorry for your loss, Jeff I'm in the pet business. I'm a pet dog trainer. I remember the words of George Carlin, and I'll paraphrase "Pets are all little tragedys". I have had to harden my heart over the years.

    Rough Outs or Russet Service Shoes...

    I was told by an old Marine that lived through Pearl Harbor that they would shave the rough off the boots before shining them. As for cut down jump boots ...the service shoes don't have the reinforcement on the sides or the beveled heel or the rounded sole edge. I think they are two...

    cutting the brim

    Used the compass method... Trimmed about an inch off a four inch brim, and flattened it out with a slight dip to the front and rear. With the teardrop and the three inch brim it looks like a black unbound Stetson Dune or Akubra Cattleman now. Just saved about a hundred bucks on a new hat.

    Hurricane Katrina

    Bush don't control the weather... The mayor of New Orleans and the Gov. of LA know the conditions of that area of the country, they should have had a better contingency plan.

    The feel of the era.

    It's like that, MK... Southeast TX, hosing costs are the lowest in the country. New homes starting at about $50-80 a sq ft. Houston is the fourth largest city in America, housing demand is real high. I live just north of the city. Oh, to get back on track, my grandma will be 106 this...
