Hey Guys and Girls, I ask that you pray for us here on the Gulf Coast as Hurricane Katrina bears down on us. We are packing up now, and just got done boarding up the hosue. Not going to try and ride this out, Cat. 5. 175+ winds with gusts higher. Taking my computer brain, but do not have the time to pack my cds. Anyone that I owe, I will mail out, Lord willing when I get back, if anything is left. Bugsy, I haver your dvds, I found them when we were packing the van, they were behind back seat, so I guess they were not mailed out. My wife says she mailed what she saw. All I can say is sorry, I am taking them with me and will mail from TN, I will personaly mail them. Rock D, NIG, J28, and RED 13 I'll get mp3 to you. Sadie I'm still looking. Talk to later-ERIC

Don't be a dumbshit, Abs...forget about our cd's..you and your wife and familyare just a little more important than my Journey cd...run north young man. This is going to be the WORST storm ever...if there were a category 6, this would be it.....25 foot standing water in the Big Easy..OMG..
God help our southern neighbours..This is downright scary...
I just logged onto my Amtrak employee site..no scheduled service to/from New Orleans(duh), but they are using Amtrak equipment to take people to Memphis..all day, back and forth..the freeways are so clogged...

WE got a little taste of Katrina here in South Florida this past week, but nothing of the magnitude of what she has NOW become.....RUN FOR YOUR LIVES! Good luck to you and your family, Abitaman! BE SAFE!

Speaking of hurricanes.."

Thanks for the prayers everyone. I tried to post last night on my brothers computer, looks like it didn't go thru. But we are in Tennessee. Just got off the phone with a friend from down there, he said house was okay. BUT, we were one of the lucky ones. Tdal suege has took out my job, kids school, and 90 percent of everything down there. He said not to come down, they were leaving. Roads are closed, looting going on, mass chaos. Car jackins, no gas, no power, no water, no food. Gas leaks, I could go on. Going to try and go down this weekend and get clothes and music. Already got eveything else on way up. As I said work is gone in Gulfport, but producing plant in New Orleans is under 15 foort of water. Well gotta go, taking a break from tv and calling my creditors. Thanks again-ERIC
