Lessons Learned

It's early yet but if we've learned anything from Hurricane Katrina, we know to make plans ahead of time and more importantly, get the hell out.
There is a problem. Where to go?
My family has pets. Lots of pets. We're looking for cottages, cabins, campground facilities...anywhere.
Motel 6 and Red Roof Inns promotes that they accept ONE pet per room. I, alone, have 3 dogs.

As of this morning, every place we call is booked. It's a scary thought, not finding a place to stay to save our own lives.
Just as scary is the thought that the things I leave behind might not be there when I return.
I don't have room in my car for all the shit I've collected in my 33 years of life and the idea of all of that being gone in one fell swoop is extremely depressing.

My boss is at a storm meeting as I write this. As of yesterday, they weren't releasing us until after the work day on Thursday. Bullshit. Can you imagine how bad the traffic will be less than 24 hrs before the hurricane is scheduled to make landfall?
Screw the job, I'm leaving when my family does.

I'd suggest going somewhere farther inland - say, Kentucky, maybe? I hear Louisville is wonderful this time of year, and the people are so accommodating...
