Note to readership:  I have decided not to post,  today.  There simply is no story as big or as critical as what is going on in the Gulf.  Already an all-time record 50 inches of rain,  if the levee's start breaking or the dames cannot store any more rain,  this thing is going to get far far worse.  16% of the nation's oil/gas supply has been cut off.  The Addicks Reservoir,  created by the construction of a 61,000 foot earthen dam,  is beginning to overflow.  More than 3,000 homes lay immediately down stream.  A second reservoir,  the Barker Reservoir,  has reached capacity,  today,  as well.  

God bless this country and the Gulf region.
