Hurricane Season, again

It is hard to believe that it has been several years since Hurricane Katrina. Baton Rouge changed for good...yet, not in a good way. Our traffic system never recovered. Thank goodness for Mayor Holden and his Green Light program. It has certainly answered prayers on some arteries. However, not enough streets can be widened quickly enough and now that our area's economy is a little depressed we need to have traffic moving. I blame the administrations prior to Kipp's. There was obviously a total lack of planning. Now that sounds like our Federal Government! I don't know how Mayor Holden has done it, but he has moved much of the city.

We just purchased a Generac generator. It is huge and will mean that if our electricity goes out (when, not if) we will have power this time. At least, that is the game plan. We bought the system and on our first night of running it, it DIED! A belt came off of the system and the thing overheated. Does not sound good to us.

That is it on Aug 12, 2009.
