my favorite tv show

I really make an effort to not watch much tv. One channel i do put on most is current tv. It's a news type network with journalists (usually younger) cover topics that interest them. They have many interesting stories that are short and are called pods.
Today, being the two year anniversary of Katrina, there was a long show on this guy going around when new orleans was flooding. There were many times where i thought he would get stuck and not make it out. I guess i had some sick side of me that wanted him to get stuck and see what he would do to get himself out. The next pod was about these hotels in argentina where couples go to "get it on" called "telos". The "Telos" are basically nice rooms to rent out for a short time for a little private time. These are nessessary because most people in argentina do not live on their own. Some are themed room and cost $15 for 2 hours.
This is odd because of where i was when i first heard about the hurricane. This was a little different than most people hearing about it. Amy & I were at the philadelphia folk fest that weekend and then we went to a "romantically themed" Hotel to rest up on Monday. I had no idea the hurricane hit until late monday evening. We went out to eat and we noticed the gas prices were way up. When we got back to the hotel i checked out the tv and there we saw the horrible images of the hurricane. It's still messed up in New Orleans after two years, i think that is a shame. It was a really nice place, but that is what will happen to you when you build a city underwater. Note to any new city planners: if you have to walk up steps to see the river, consider revising your location.
Anyway current manages to get into my brain and link two seemingly unrelated items. Way to go current. They are now introducing me to bacn. Being a vegetarian i do not like my junk mail being refered to a another pork product. Does anybody have religious objections to this?
Moscow will have complete traffic gridlock by 2011 you will not be able to drive because with the fall of communism parking laws are no longer in effect. Something to think about. No not really. Amy goes back to work tomorrow so i might not blog for a bit or blog way too much.
