so here I am

reading Crystal City

when I read a protion
where La Tia asks Alvin to lead the slaves across the river and what not

and Arthut Stuart mentions making a hurricane

Alvin mentions that would be a bad idea considering the how low the city is

just thought that was a bit ironic
a little sick and twisted I am

to find that humorous

but either way
it sparked my curiosity

Want to talk Pre Cog in the Red, Green, Blue Mars Series Kim Stanely Robinson had a main character that was resposible for disbursement of FEMA funds for the South East Coast after the 'Disasters' who helped create a massive surge of jobs, hope and infrastucture, and the timing is pretty damn close too!

This thread gave me an image of Card w/a shaved head and in a bodysuit partially submerged in a vat of viscous liquid.

Wierd.

Oh man reading any of The Crystal City after Katrina would be weird. they spend close to the entire time in New Orleans. [Frown]
