Well, we're driving on the bus at 7:40 PM and life is going well. Injuries on the bus are high due to maniacal braking by an unnamed adult friend of Mark. On the way out of New Orleans we stopped and took pictures of a movie set for the upcoming Laurence Fishbourne movie Black Water Transit, about gun smugglers coming back to New Orleans 3 weeks after Katrina. At first we thought it was from Katrina, and took lots of pictures. It turns out that they had taken photographs from other areas and worked them into the set. there was an overturned bus, a car impaled on a large pole, a house with one side swept out from under it, abd lots of debris. We walked on the multitude of blood spots from a shootout and saw a church rigged to go mega-boom. A friendly local working on site as a guard told us a little about it and about his house several miles south of the set. There is a church that he saw after the hurricane that had been completely submerged, and its stainglass windows were all still intact.
The bus is still as dangerous now as it was earlier in the week. Mark's maniacal driver friend braked real hard at one point, throwing me and the trusty, diamond-hard radio across the bus and onto the floor. Fortunately, the radio is still intact and we can keep using it for audio on the DVD's.
Here's a pic from the set.

Send me the photo and I will put it up. The link doesn't quite work and I want to see the picture you were trying to post.
