San Diego has sent some Swift Water Rescue units out to New Orleans to help. These guys are firemen and EMT training to rescue people from the water using inflatable boats and, if necessary, helicopters. On the way in to work this work, they were talking to some of the team members in New Orleans who said they have been pulled back because those wonderful looters keep shooting at the rescuers.
This is just so damn depressing. I love New Orleans but I may never go back after this.
"Mars" is also a chocolate bar found on Earth. These are highly concentrated sources of carbohydrates, which are of vital importance to many carbon based life forms. Mars bars are slightly rippled with a flat underside. They are sometimes used in English courtship rituals in which the female performs various allegorical oral acts with the chocolate bar, which is donated by the male as part payment for this spectacle.
