Granted there could be obstacles both as you mention, and otherwise, -which could make such Recovery Plan(s) as I mention not feasable or cost effective. I had already pretty well come to such a conclusion myself, -as to my earlier Fill In proposal.

And I did not take your thoughtful response (I Appreciate it, -Thanks for it!) to be testy or etc. Just like to Reassure on that.

As another variation on New Orleans Recovery ideas, -perhaps it can become another sort of floating city, -on barge like platforms, and/or stilt like structures. This has just occurred to me, upon reading your reply. Of course there would be the problem and matter of mooring such against the current, -in storm times and normal ones. This too could possibly turn out to be unworkable as well, -I do acknowledge.

I say this all at least half seriously, and not totally in jest. And I certainly don't mean to make light jest out of the New Orleans Plight and Prospects, in itself.

Well wishes to you both personally, -and as one of many in the New Orleans area, -in both your day to day copeing, -and eventual Completed Recovery, -however that is. [color:"black"] [/color] [email]cliff[/email]
