5. It ought to work fine, neither Mayor Nagin or Governor Blanco are involved. Yeah, the traffic northbound on I-45 is a flustercluck, but that’s the way it was thirty some years ago when I was stationed there. Now there are something like two million Houstonians trying to get out of town too. That won’t help.

   Looks like the state jumped into the situation and is supplying gasoline, etc. for people stuck on the road with some help from the military. That’s what’s called acting on a situation when it arises.

   There are only three ways off of Galveston island: Two bridges and a ferry. To tell the truth, I don’t recall using the bridge at the west end of Galveston island, although I did use the ferry from time to time. (Used to drink with one of the ferry captains. I just made sure Sammy wasn’t driving when I was on it. )

   If the winds don’t blow everything down they’re as prepared as possible for the surge/flooding. Most of the houses in Galveston are elevated about 15 feet.

   The houses on the beach are gonna be a total loss and we’ll get to pay for them. Ain’t that a bitch? IMNSHO if you build a beach house on a beach and it washes away, you lose.

   Still hoping that the sloop New Dawn makes it through unscathed. I’m glad Jim got the hell out of there.

6. Oh, and how do you propose getting those Irish from South Bend to Indianoplace, Oink? Yeah, I’ve got some time on I-465.

7. We don’t allow Irish; we have signs in IndyNoplace just like restaurants in London and New York did over 100 years ago: NO DOGS—NO IRISH.
   (I you not about the 100 years ago part.) Jesse-Rikvid, that was racism.

   But I digress.  For the rest of youse, 3-digit Interstates circle cities.

   Posted by Oink       09/23/2005  at  05:25 AM  



8. Just to be pedantic, 3 digit interstates with even first numbers are circles like I-465. 3 digit interstates with odd first numbers are spurs and never rejoin the main highway. e.g. I-190. Exception are I-238 & I-99. You can look it up. Here and here. Don’t look up I-99, it’ll just piss you off.

9. How about I865 off’n I465 in Naptown?  I bet the did that just to us up!
   (SK: I try to keep it dumbed down for the hoi polloi)
   Skipper, we really need a Smiley for “asshole”, don’t we?

   Posted by Oink       09/23/2005  at  07:14 AM  



10. Okay, make that “Exception are I-238, I-865 & I-99”

    Looks like dem Hoosier boys had to correct an error that they found confused tourists and each other.

    I offered an icon that was close to what you’re lookin’ for the other day, Oink. Here it is. (site’s down at the moment)

11. SK—how about a large, bold asterisk? (Note: NOT “asteric") ****** Found a use for that sucker already!

12. While we’re on the subject, where’s my OldCatMan-buddy this A.M.?

    Posted by Oink       09/23/2005  at  07:55 AM  



13. As long as we can still use it in poetry:

    Little Nell put on her skates
    Upon the ice to frisk
    Now wasn’t she a silly girl
    Her little *

14. I’m thinking that OCM is sleeping better these days and isn’t getting up before the sun any more. He’ll be along any time now to continue his mission to move ever steadily away from the dark side.

    Posted by StinKerr       09/23/2005  at  08:02 AM  



15. 1. re: Nell, “Her little ass to risk?” Too lazy to Google.
    2. OCM: without the Dark Side he would be boring and no fun at all

    Posted by Oink       09/23/2005  at  08:20 AM  



16. 1. Yep
    2. Maybe, maybe not. Somehow I think he’d be entertaining without the dark side influence though.
