Jen: We missed you today...no photo...but we still have the weekly report to our readers.

Week 10: 30 weeks or 217 days until Wednesday, April 15, 2006.

Your baby now is somewhere between 1 and 1 1/2
inches in length and probably weighs about 4 grams (which is
about the same weight as 4 paper clips). In terms of
physical development, your baby has toes, eyes that are
usually open, and ears that are completely formed. Your baby
now has lips and the genitals that are becoming more clearly
defined. The little pollywog you have inside loses its
"tail". This is what is termed "the fetal period".

(note...this is NOT YOUR ACTUAL baby...but a representation)
Till next week.

Mayor Nagin's Reflecting Pool

I feel for the people who look to others (mostly their government) for everything they have. Especially when thier local government in incapable of any Leadership. Above are 205 New Orleans School Buses that are less than 3 miles from the Superdome & Convention Center. Enough to evacuate 13,500 people. Can we make Rudy Giuliani the Mayor of every major city in the US?

The First Annual Washers Tourney was tonight...of course "Somebody" forgot to bring the Washers. (not to name names but it rymes with Tammy Tree Frog)...so we had to resort to playing Croquete'. Which is a fun game...but nothing like Washers. In attendance were Milsie, Robdeebob, Skywriting, (of course we were hosted by) Nick Burns, F.S. Walker, Hillenjunior, Movie Buff, IslandWriter, Royblog, Roywife, Hillenwife, SpfldSteph, Britt-any-thing goes, and the newly named Crystal Blue Sarcasm. Conspicuosly absent were (as previously mentioned) Sammy B, the DTB admin & his wife...mary ann, the professor too, all here on Nick Burns isle. (oh yeah...and Hal*rina...Robin of Walnut...Tango Delta...Jen...Rachel...iROG...K1 & K2)

Happy Birthday Jonny! Your Mid Twenties bite the dust. Nothing like a little chocolate cake in tha face to close out the best decade of your life. Once you hit your thirties...it all starts fallin apart...trust me.

This morning DMP made contact with one if our dealers in Jackson, MS...and unbelievably, they were recieving UPS shipments. UPS is Amazing...there is not question. This dealer had all 8 of his employees (who had lost their homes and everything) living with him. They had no food, no water, no gas, nothing. In a little less than 4 hours. The wonderful people at DMP had donated almost $500 to cover freight...and almost 1000 lbs of food, water, and provisions...some of which are being Air Freigted in. An amazing story...Thanks to Leigh Sides for heading up the effort...what a great place to work!
