Is if it continues it’s projected track i will shut down oil production in the gulf (which is where 25% of US oil production comes from). The summer of 05 was when we saw our first massive jump in the price of gas, and it was mostly because ’Canes Katrina and Rita moved through the northwest gulf where most offshore rigs are.

I’m enjoying our current dip in gas prices very much (down 50 cents in the last 2 months here in north austin), but Gustav may put the kibbosh on that.

Although it looks like FLA will be spared, I still hope and pray that Gustav will deep throat America’s wang and then swallow its load of old people while they’re doing old people crap like spending their social security checks on yet another ridiculous polyester action suit, driving through stop signs, talking about how great things were when a man was a man and a woman knew her place, yelling at the young people, playing bridge or bocce ball or doing those stupid little elasticity exercises. Bah! Humbug!!

All Hail Gustav!!

According to Ray Nagin’s press release, we’ll be evacuating NOLA if Gustav hits cat 3 or just seems like it will rain a lot.

Really quite the marvel of modern disaster management we’ve got at city hall.
