[Boss Hoss]

They are assuming they lost everything. There was not a house in St. Bernard Parish taht did not have water in it...according to the press conference that was held yesterday, their subidivision had 8-10ft of water. They warned everybody to keep their hopes low. They talk in specifics of the losses and it is really unbeleivable. Sounds almost like the entire parish(known as counties outside of Louisiana) will have to be bulldozed and start from scratch.

TX...I have been called an overprotective owner so as you can imagine i was rather shook up. Heres how it when down; I pull out of my neighborhood get up to about 25-30mph, i look back and Hoss(my bulldog) has rolled down the window and has all four feet on the ledge of the door panel and it is teeter tottering as to if he is goign to go out the window or fall on his butt back in....i slow down as much as i can without completely throwing him off balance, he jumps, i slam on my brakes while pulling over and watchign him tumble. Before i can get out he is already on his feet just standing there like nothing happened. Fortunatley my house is really close to the beach so he landed in sand.
