Jeff Quinton and Bryan S. both note gas prices soaring and lines growing. I noticed that in Troy this morning as I was driving into the University that prices were at $2.89 (although the usually over-priced Exxon on 231 not far from my house was only $2.55). When I headed to church this eveing both of the stations rights off of I-85 had lines that stretched the street (indeed, I haven’t seen lines like that at a gas station since the early 1980s). Prices there were in the 2.80s/2.90s. I did hear one report of gas over $3.00 in Montgomery. Luckily my wife and I gassed up our vehicles yesterday.

My word: “We are looking at 12 to 16 weeks before people can come in,” Mayor Ray Nagin said on ABC’s “Good Morning America, “and the other issue that’s concerning me is have dead bodies in the water. At some point in time the dead bodies are going to start to create a serious disease issue.” Wow. 3 to 4 months. h/t: The Glittering Eye Filed under: Uncategorized | Comments/Trackbacks (4)|

This strikes me as a bit optimisitic: New Orleans Hotels: Hotel InterContinental New-Orleans, Louisiana, USA: The InterContinental New Orleans is scheduled to reopen on Monday, 12th September, provided that electricity and potable water are being received by the hotel. I looked out of curiousity because I, and some of the readers out there, are supposed to go to the Southern Political Science Association meeting at the Inter-Continental in January. I am having a hard time seeing that happen, but certainly being open in two weeks seems highly unlikely. Of course, they have a proviso in their statement, and to me it would seem that that is huge proviso. Filed under: Uncategorized | Comments/Trackbacks (2)|
