Nate ended up being a no-show in NOLA. After making landfall along the mouth of the Mississippi River, he blew to the east of us…
Nate cometh. I first heard about him as Tropical Depression #16, forming off the coast of Nicaragua on Wednesday. On Thursday morning I saw he…
Isaac is gone, but his odor lingers on. Seriously. There’s a smell in the air, a certain peculiar smell I can’t describe. I’m not sensitive…

The Green Party had a media training workshop; since it was at Xavier I had to be there for the duration. Attendance was not so…
