I am sure that you have heard the news about Hurricane Katrina. Being that my family is from New Orleans, we had to get out. Most of my family are safe. I am in Memphis, Tn. The rest of my family are scattered throughout the south. But I have heard that my brother is in the attic of his home awaiting rescue and my mother is missing. I don't know why I am posting this, but I am hoping it will make me feel beter. Pray for the victims. Yes, my Alembics are in about 15 feet of water as I am typing this.

I hope things work out for your family and that your mothers disappearance is just the result of the aftermath confusion. I have been through a couple of hurricanes myself and know how upsetting the can be. Your in our thoughts. Keith | ||

Michael, I was worried about you with the advance of Katrina, and my son, who is in the Airforce studying meterology...at Keesler AFB in Biloxi. We got word from him this morning that he's OK, but I know there are many that are not as fortunate. Our prayers are with you and yours for a safe return. Ken (TEO) | ||

Michael: Here's some good vibes from the left coast. Judging from the title you picked for this thread, you haven't lost your sense of humor. I hope you haven't lost anything else, either. Now go out and buy a gallon of lemon oil for when you get those Alembics back. Bill, tgo | ||

Michael, Thanks for checking in with us. We're relieved to hear you are personally safe and sound, and hope all goes as well with the most important thing, your family. Float? Not sure, but we did have a Series I travel down the Hudson River for three days in its case after a flood. The electronics still worked when we plugged it in! But the fingerboard had to be replaced, the bass had to dry out for a month and we did have to chuck the very smelly case. | ||

Hi Michael; I'm glad to hear from you. I knew there was no way all the instruments were going in the car with you, and I figured they were under water when I saw the news on the internet this morning. I hope you hear from your mother soon; and I hope your brother is ok. Take care. | ||

Hi Michael, When I saw the title of your thread I thought OH NO! Once you mentioned your families struggle, a floating Alembic is no big deal. Best wishes to you and your kin folk. | ||

Michael, Ditto what everyone else has said. When I saw it on the news this morning, you were actually the first person I thought of and I'm glad you're on dry land. I hope you ALL are back together safe, warm and dry very soon. Let the Elves worry about the basses later. John | ||

Michael, my thoughts and prayers are with you for the safety of you and your family. I also wonder about Gary (dumfuxx) who lives in Louisiana and, as far as I know, works on an offshore rig. I hope for the best possible outcome for all of you who have been affected by the hurricane. Rich | ||

Michael, I popped into the "Misc" forum to ask if anybody had heard from you; glad to hear you're OK and far away and my fingers are crossed for your mother and brother. Things have devolved to Stone Age levels in your neighborhood, and I'm sure that's why you haven't heard anything yet. This run of weather is only slightly more humid than normal for NOLA, so just be glad you aren't that poor schmoe whose bass traveled down the Hudson. A whole city's sewage is nothing compared to that slime-basin, believe me. | ||

As a german I feel deeply ashamed by the disgusting comments that the german environmental minister Mr.Trittin has made to this catastrophy, completely ignoring the feelings and suffering of all victims and their families. All I can say here is that I feel sorry for this idiot accidentially being a minister in our government. The vast majority of the germans do feel with with the victims and their families and pray for them. Mr.Trittin will get the bill with our next election by Sept-18. | ||

What a disaster: my thoughts are with everyone affected, and I pray the rescue efforts can minimise any further loss of life. Nature certainly can be viscious. Mark |
