Friday Baja Blogging If only Rita could produce such beautiful and gentle waves. Instead, some have already died and the worst has come to pass in New Orleans, again. The only good news is Rita is weakening and most people have gotten away from the coasts, hopefully to areas that won't be subjected to the storm's land-locked watershed the experts predict will come in the days after. I think the weather-worry is that much worse since we now know (and many of us have known) that we have failed leadership, an atmosphere that compounds disaster again and again. S and I are having a wonderful time together, though neither of us can stay away from the thrice-daily hurricane updates. In between though, we have gone to some of our favorite eating places, seen The Corpse Bride (wow!) and tonight we're headed to the Mexican Fine Arts Center Museum for the opening of their Día de los muertos exhibit. A friend of ours, Luis De La Torre, has a piece in the show. Our friends are safe -- most still scattered across the country after being left homeless after Katrina -- and hopefully Rita will drift away from the most populated places. And this weekend is a massive protest against the Iraq War. (We'll be there in spirit.) If you've not seen it yet, check out Phil Donahue's mop-up job on the O'Reilly Factor. It's almost enough to give me hope.
