one of my two nieces is named katrina. everyone calls her katy.

i like to call her katrina, because i think it sounds cooler than katy. there are loads of katy’s running around.

katrina is kind of not a name you hear everyday.

katrina doesn’t like me calling her katrina. she much prefers katy.

seems that katrina is her ‘getting in trouble’ name

but i’m sure you’ve all heard about the hurricane bearing down on nawlins.

i got to go to nawlins for tkd national championships 2 years ago. i had a blast in the french quarter.

the news is saying that the storm surge is going to elevate lake pontchartrain around 20 feet.

and then the rotation of the hurricane is going to push right over the levees, and into nawlins.

the french quarter may be gone in a days time. there are cemeteriaes with the bodies above ground in little structures.

this may well be a calamity of biblical proportions.

seems ‘katrina’ is the getting in trouble name for nawlins as well.
