interdictor is my freaking hero:

I heard I was on CNN and it was mentioned that my tone is no longer optimistic. Let me just say that I am very optimistic. The city can descend into chaos for a little while, but eventually order will develop. Sure, it looks bleak, but we’ll work through it.

I have a lot of people telling us to abandon ship and get out. Guys, that’s not gonna happen. I’ll eat roaches and drink the funky Quarter sludge in the gutters of Bourbon Street long before I abandon my city. I’ve got resources and will and so does my team, and we’re here until this is over.

Should have linked this long ago, but I didn’t want to get in the way of the Big Dogs.

I love this entry from the same blog:

They are ok and armed and defending the bar. They plan on staying at the bar until the police make them leave or until the situation with the electricity looks too bleak. The quarter isn’t flooding yet and so far they still have gas at the bar so they’ve been cooking what perishables they have left.

Some might call that foolhardy, and I almost do, but I can understand the idea that you only have one life, and when you put every bit of into something, it’s worth defending until you have to blow. And you only blow so you can get back to rebuild.
