Be Careful Out There!

This Wordpress theme I’m using, if downloaded from the Wordpress site, uses some Germanor maybe they’re Dutch terms for navigational linking words. If you see such words on your wordpress blog as “Geen Chaos”, “Gepost” or “Doe mij nog meer Chaos” and you’d rather have those words in English, then you might like to download my updated page with English words. This replaces the index.php file found in wp-content/themes/mcfire.

I found another page with the Dutch link words, comments.php. Will have to get those fixed as well.

Local streaming TV to get the real stories:

New Orleans: WWLTV. If that link doesn’t work, here’s another stream.

Alabama:WKRG

Live weblog from downtown New Orleans. This guy works in the DirectNIC datacenter in a New Orleans skyscraper. He says they haven’t lost power and should be able to keep online for the next three weeks. There are pictures of looting, etc.; Poydras web cam.

What cops looting? Say it ain’t so!

Or is it Terri? In any case, I’ve read all sides of the story and finally got to look at some video of her. Someone’s there! Anyone who would want to kill this woman should be shot themselves. Sure, she’s not up to playing piano, but she’s not a veg either. From what I can see she looks severely retarded so I guess the problem becomes, who wants to take responsibility for her, especially the $ costs. If Jeb Bush wants to take responsibility for her why not? And the husband who doesn’t want her? Get a divorce. Keep Terri alive and you never know, a miracle for Terri Schiavo could happen. My $.02.

Have you ever wondered what it’d be like to live on a deserted South Pacific? Well, Tom Neale did just that. After a stint in the New Zealand navy, Tom decided to bounce around the Cook Islands and jumped at the chance to make his life alone on Suvarov, a tiny atoll miles from the nearest civilized island. You can read about this fascinating 6 year adventure here. Look for “An Island to Oneself” in the e-texts area.
