...I was up late in a hotel in Chicago (ok, Evanston) flicking between the weather channel and CNN, watching Katrina, while trying to concentrate on the subtleties of cooling functions for cold ultra low metallicity gas...
Then I saw breaking news on CNN, it was not good.
Ended up staying up way too late, mesmerised by the sub-text in the reporting.
A couple of days later I flew out of O'Hare, right over the arc of storms that were squeezing the last little bit of gulf moisture from Katrina out over the Ohio valley.
Seeing the very rapidly moving high altitude clouds ripple over the Lakes was eerie, but I don't think a single drop of rain fell on me. Not from that storm.

I went to my old blog to see if and what I blogged about during and after Katrina hit the Gulf Coast two years ago. I was astonished at just how much I posted! My blogging style is, like, so different today.
Not content to allow the raving moonbats of Christianity to have all the attention, a group of Jewish moonbats have decided to throw their tinfoil hats into the ring and make their case. Their argument? The hurricane was sent by God as punishment for our support of the Israeli pullout from Gaza.
A year ago this Monday, Katrina hit the Gulf states. We all blogged like crazy.
Were you doing some research work at Northwestern?
Nah, that was this year.
'05 I was at NWU for one of the MODEST meetings.
Shoot - If we would have known that you were at NU, we would have invited you to the Darwin Exhibit meet up recently. http://www.antievolution.org/cgi-bin/ikonboard/ikonboard.cgi?s=46d5c512…
Lucy is coming in 2009, so if you are back at NU, or Chicago, so maybe you could slum it with us ground-pounders, instead of star-gazers.
Cool, I was at NWU for a couple of months this spring.
It is not unlikely that I will be back there in the finite future, though that of course also depends on my erstwhile hosts - they may have different ideas after the experience ;-)
