Sorghum for fuel?

Oil prices are affecting everything in this day in time.  People have to do without some things they took for granted just last year so they can have the gas to go to work now.  The solution is not a simple one but I do believe that alternative sources of fuel are the key to help combat the ever rising price of gasoline.  I saw where they can use sorghum (which is what a lot of our ancestors used to make molasses) to produce a cheaper fuel.  This would also help keep food prices down and feed a lot of families.  I’m sure someone will find a way to poo-poo this like everything else to help bring down our dependence on oil.

New Orleans sound

Technology has come far since I first worked in the clubs of New Orleans.  Music can now be synthesized so you don’t need a complete band but I must admit, nothing beats the true sound of New Orleans.  A lot of greats started here and many have come from here like Doug Kershaw (also known as the ragin Cajun), Aaron Nevill and his brothers, Harry Connick  Jr. and more than I can mention in a short time.  A good time is to be had by all when they are playing their music.

Katrina

When Katrina came, life in New Orleans changed forever.  I was not like a lot of people who chose to stay.  I know better than to face down an angry woman;) and chose to head for much safer ground, so I took all of my employees that wanted to go with me to Las Vegas.  I knew they could find jobs there until we could return home.  The computer is a great tool to keep you in touch with necessary people and goings on so you know when things are better.  Not the same, just getting better.  Then we returned.
