The federal state god will confiscate (steal) enough money from all of us to get things going again for people stupid enough to live below sea level. It is too good an opportunity to look good and buy votes with other people's money.

Right now, New Orleans is without that commodity. After the levees are patched, it will still be some time before they are all pumping. Even when working properly, I hear that they only can handle about a foot a day. The math is not encouraging. I fear that pianos and those who care for and about them are in for a long, hard time.
