Monster Storm To Dredge The Carolinas

[Vern Humphrey]

My grandfather dredged the Calcasieu River to create the Port of Lake Charles. In the process he created Clooney Island, which we still own,

Looks like you own a swamp.

Looks like you own a swamp.

Actually, they're talking about building a natural gas terminal on that island.

[Bill D]

Well, I guess there are swamps and then there are Swamps.

The big winners in the Florence event have been the retail vendors of hurricane supplies, along with the contractors, ax men, and linemen who will make a year's income on the tree and power line cleanup. The big losers are the news people, who are totally worn out from their near-hysterical predictions of cataclysmic doom and destruction. A lot of rain, a lot of wind, localized flooding, and panic for the Governor. His clients get a few days free rent and small meals in a high school gym, not to mention a bus ride. Brings to mind the old mountain out of a molehill. Regards, Clark

It's all a question of choosing the right job depending on where you live.
For instance, you wouldn't open a Ship's Chandlery in the Sahara.
Well, maybe some dumb libs might.

I flew into Charlotte today on the way to see Military son just back from 5th or 6th paid vacation by Uncle Sam. The flight in was pretty rough the last 10 minutes and the flight out to the next stop was about the same. The flight out was when I had the biggest sensation of dropping I ever experienced in flight. Not very many people on plane, which is what happens when one flys toward a storm.
