Word is that the city is returning to something like normal. After five days, the power was restored to the corporate apartment where I stay in East Baton Rouge parish. So everthing that thawed will freeze again while I spend this week working at home.Gas is available but lines are long and prices are high, I hear. Grocery stores are getting deliveries regularly, though many are closing early. I continue to hear rumors of lawlessness, but few or none of these are confirmed. Safe, yes, but the advice we're getting is not to take chances by going out alone before dawn and late at night. One of my colleagues emailed to say she's back to work today after ten days out: family and house intact, six trees down.

Your blog rocks! How do you come up with your ideas? Your writing flows like a swift crystalline river . . . Swiftian even (of or relating to Jonathan Swift). Please continue writing in your inimitable style.
Envious of your cajones,
