~Editilla Rotellas~This article seems to've swung a buzz from the blog'O'reamery that nola.com "buried" it or whateva...I found it quickly after it moved on down the line amidst quite a torrent of articles.
Jus'sayin, they were swinging hard and fast at nola.com --and Editilla had a hard time keeping up with the tight late-breaking coverages and photos going down during the whole scene. My hat is off to the TP and all their Ace Gumshoes. Hats off to Gambit too!
This esmacuation ended up as a hellish dry run for everyone, and I thought the Nola Blog'O'fugees hung well and together on da'road homeless. Next time? Well, we will all just deal with it even better, no matter where we choose to make our stands, Sinn Féin.

My Investing Journey:
Hurricane Katrina
~"I reckon the crux lies in whether one is actively hoping that a disaster will happen which he perceives will benefit his stock as a consequence. For SPC I had never bought in with such hopes so I never suffered any guilt pangs when Katrina struck and had a positive uplifting effect on prices of refining stocks across the board."
