Gustav gone

We're still waiting, but planning our return, with the assumption that we've dodged the bullet in New Orleans, and restricted entry and curfew will be lifted in the next day or so.

Of course, the assumption is that everyone else has a similar plan, on a similar time frame, anxious to see their home. We'll be prepared to sit in traffic, but hopefully plan a route that doesn't intersect Gustav's northwest path.

Hoping by this afternoon we'll know if levees contained the storm surge, determine if there's power in our neighborhood, and get moving on our plan to return home.
