…are with our MetBlogs colleagues in New Orleans over the next few days as Katrina lines up to take her punch at the region. Thankfully, most of the bloggers there have heeded the advice to evacuate (clutching their whiskey bottles as they retreat) - alas, as one poster points out, NoLa residents don’t usually listen to the folks urging that they get out of town already.

Dear Evacuation Monkeys:

This one is different. You officially have my permission to freak out.

Stay safe, stay away - and we’ll see you when you get back, safe & sound…
