This is a great picture.  The Katrina storm surge, taken from the third floor of St. Stanislaus, Bay Saint Louis, Mississippi.

It’s almost been two years.

    I’ve got a video taken by a young couple who rode out the storm, a mile or so from St. Stans.
    They did plenty of screaming….and praying.

    There are some things I will ride, but a much longer list of things I won’t.
    Hurricanes are way up on the list of won’ts. It makes no sense to stand in front of one of those things.

    this ain’t good. at least they got her before she ’sploded…

    It started with a routine domestic disturbance, except that the pair involved has recently been under investigation by federal terrorism officials.

    Before the day ended, Arlington police had negotiated a six-hour standoff, their robot had been shot at with a paintball gun, and they had called in a bomb squad over four potentially explosive devices.

    Kimberly Al-Homsi called 911 about 12:40 a.m. Monday. She said her friend, Aisha Hamad, had threatened her with a knife. The two are noteworthy because a few months ago, they were seen at Dallas Love Field, both dressed in camouflage pants under traditional Muslim robes, conducting what appeared to be surveillance, officials said.

    Police say that Monday morning, when an officer came to the door, Ms. Hamad threatened to shoot him. She told him the only way she would leave was in a body bag.

    So began the standoff, during which she fired a paintball gun at a tactical robot and missed, police say, and at the end of which a negotiator persuaded her to come out peacefully. Once outside, Ms. Hamad, 50, fought with them while they tried to handcuff her, police say, so they used a Taser on her.

    Police took Ms. Hamad to a hospital, where she was to undergo a mental evaluation. She is likely to face assault charges, Arlington police spokeswoman Christy Gilfour said.

    Meanwhile, police searched the home on Wembley Road and found four explosive devices, one of which was sitting on a bedroom table.

    I just realized that this was the same “domestic disturbance” that n2l posted earlier.

    Actually, I think I’d have taken her up on that body bag offer since she was already bagged up for easy disposal.

    I do not want to hear about Orcas. Or fat. I was going out to exercise tonight (after a hiatus of a few days due to severe thunderstorms in the evening). SwampMan told me to sit down, relax, watch TV, I was NOT fat, just very very very very very pleasantly rounded. Hmmmmm. (Narrowed eyes looking at him. It sounded like he meant “fat”.) “You really mean that, baby?” “Yeah, I do…You know how much I like ham sammiches…” Flounce, flounce, flounce, SLAM! From behind the closed door came “Baby…I was just playin’ with ya? Can’t you take a joke? Um, could you get me something from the BBQ place when you’re out since I won’t be gettin’ no dinner?”

    That boy!

    As for J effing Kerry, he had the opposite effect on me, and my dear, sweet Momma. About a month before she passed, she insisted we go vote on the first day of early voting, as she couldn’t wait to vote for Bush. We were standing in a very, very, very long line for early voting, and most of the people there were older, and mostly white. She struck up a conversation with some of the folks around us, and J effing K came up, and she gave a Homer Simpsonesque shudder, with accompanying shivering/shuddering sounds, and said he made her skin crawl. She got many approving nods.
