Okay, so Katrina is now down to Cat 3, but when Jim Cantore says, from Gulport, "I've never seen anything like this," referring to the storm surge, you know you have a bad storm.
It's "New Orlens," not "New Orlee-ans." [Edit: and NOT "New Orleens." No.] Unless you are from there, in which case you can call it "N'awlins."
People talk as though all Southern accents are the same. I don't think they are. Mississippi is different than Alabama which is different from Texas which is different from Georgia. Northern and rural Floridians have an accent which is markedly different from coasters. (Much of the people on the coast sound as if they're from Ohio, rather than the South.)(Mississippi and Tennessee seem to be similar; Georgia and Alabama likewise. Louisiana, especially the Cajun influenced area, is on an entirely different planet.) I am not as good at spotting the differences as I once was, but I think it still holds.
I am a sucker for all males with any variety of Southern accent, but especially with Mississippi accents. It's been nice to hear voices of men speaking with those gentle lovely tones that make me sort of go weak at the knees.

brian1789 left for Spain, I have been fighting depression. I have felt overwhelmed and uncaring and as though things were crashing around me. The house has spiraled downward and no one wishes to help me with it, and I am lacking in the energy to put up the fight to make them.
However....
Friday, we had pancakes. Saturday, tortellini with homemade alfredo sauce (with a salad for me). Sunday, homemade chili. Tonight, Ginger sesame chicken, coconut-pineapple rice, stir-fried Asian veggies, and fresh pineapple for dessert.*
So go me. Not a fast food meal in the lot.
*The veggies were a surprise hit. I had bought some for me, on the grounds that I have decided to eat better myself even if no one else cares to. I stir fried a couple of servings (planning to save some for tomorrow for lunch) when both James and David asked if they could have some. So I gave them those and stir-fried some more for myself. I know have a bowl set aside for tomorrow's lunch with the rice, veggies, and chicken in it. Hurray!!
