In episode 2 we’re definitely more embroiled in things this week…the story lines are starting to gel. Full review of the episode is pending. These are immediate gut reactions.
The street duo talking to the Wisconsonites was one of the dialogues, as brief as it was, that hit home for me tonight…the cynical partner of the [...]
Flood gates, levees and improved drainage ways may be part of the solution for flood protection in southeast Louisiana, specifically the northshore.
