A friend of mine who's lived in New Orleans points out that at least some
of the bodies still being ignored while rescue operations continue will
prove to have nothing to do with the storm or flood. . .all the cemeteries
are above ground.  Cleaning up that city once it's back to being merely
humid is going  to be one god awful job.
