VILLAHERMOSA, Mexico – A week of torrential rain has flooded the homes
of more than 200,000 people along Mexico's Gulf coast, officials said
Friday. Residents in some towns complained that no help had arrived.
The flooding in eastern Tabasco state has worsened as rains persist
and more rivers overflow their banks. Three people drowned earlier in
the week while trying to flee a torrent of water in a drainage canal.
People "are in a desperate situation," Tabasco Gov. Andres Granier
said, but he added that many were ignoring pleas to move to shelters
for fear their homes would be looted.
The floods affect more than a dozen towns.
Santos Perez Jimenez said no help had arrived in his rural community
of Luis Cabrera.
"We're trying to get our things out as best we can," Perez Jimenez
said. "We've radioed for help several times but they have not paid
attention to us."
An estimated 20,000 people were in 100 shelters set up by the state.
Others, however, set up makeshift tents on dry land near their soaked
homes, fearing looting.
"This is the closest we can be to our stuff. And we are used to these
floods," said Rebecca Rodriguez, who was living under a plastic sheet
along a stretch of highway between Tabasco and Veracruz state.
Floods occur yearly in Tabasco despite government efforts to improve
infrastructure. In 2007, floods left 1 million homes under water and
killed 33 people.

Just a SIGN that "Tropical Storms" can (and will)
occur almost anywhere.
Just as I said in my North American Hurricane
predictions - for the year 2009.
[Their placement will become more erratic !!! ]
;- )

For people like 'Woods', 'Perseid', and especially you
Mr. New Yorker "Hot Shot" (that I have forgotten your name)
OK, I said "OCCURRENCE" in my predictions here
- instead of 'Placement' - for the year of 2009.
So SUE ME !!!

This isn't an unusual location for a tropical storm or hurricane to
hit.

OH NO.
More Mexican 'tourists' will be arriving around Steven's house.

That's 'Bob' to you!

Werewolfy
"That's 'Bob' to you!"
I wonder if he wears a false beard or cosmetic nose when he goes out
too, Jane. Terrible thing, paranoia.
Werewolfy
Jane
It is, I agree. I used to suffer more from it myself. However, I think
this whole 'Bob' thing has less to do with paranoia and more with the
little spat he had with we ladies on the other thread. After all, he
said I 'better not' ever use the name 'Stevie' again, or he would
'expose' me as a hypocrite. One thing about Steven/Bob, he is good for
laugh, just like Kim. Only I must say, Kim takes good-natured teasing
like a man. I like Kim.

Bob is also an acronym for Battery-Operated-Boyfriend.
Marvin The Paranoid Android
Indeed. Gotta have a sense of humour.
Jane
LOL! Are you saying he's a dildo?
On the other hand, dildos don't have batteries, do they?

Holy crap, Marvin - you gotta warn people!!!
Woods
Marvin The Paranoid Android
I'm pretty sure they would by now ... most likely with remotes or
bluetooth capability so they can be controlled thru an iPhone app.
Marvin The Paranoid Android
Shit -- lost out on another possible patent.
LOL ...
Marvin The Paranoid Android
This is also a classic example of 'Thread Drift'. :-D

I've been saying in here for a long time now, there's more to Kim than
his posts reveal. Yes, he is both amusing, and knows what a joke is. I
agree, Kim is a very interesting character..I like him a lot too.

Grins, Woodsy. Danielle still has those ugly little red-haired Trolls
from when I was living in Bridgwater! I saw them last week when I was
in France, her children were playing with them....;)
In seriousness, this is just a machine. If anyone wants to seek me
out, there are many other better ways of doing that. Much as it is
nice to think the World 'cares' (either like or hate), the reality is
that I'm just one person crawling around an over-populated Planet in a
chaotic Universe.
Any lunatic is more than welcome to visit with malicious intent.
Enough people throughout my life have tried...so, nothing new there.
Life becomes a touch routine, so, should any passing maniac fancy a
visit; well, it brightens up my day...or ends it. Doesn't matter too
much either way.

That is a STATEMENT of feeling 'irrelevance' here - there 'Wolfy'
[ something that you are not HERE - my friend. ]
Get over YOURSELF (and get back with the PROGRAM).
This site needs you.
What would Marvin, Dani, Jane and Woods (and Perseid) do
- without your 'wisdom' ???
I even think the J.G. is still hiding in the 'wings' here (somewhere)
- and still listening in.
Seriously !!!
;- )
Werewolfy
"This site needs you."
Now that is a really nice thing to say, Rocka. (I'm going to find it a
touch difficult to get used to your new name)
Really nice. Fatalism, I'm afraid, courses through me..well, floods
more than courses...and 'The Great Blackness' comes for us all sooner
or later.
But that was kind...I hope I can divert the 'Reaper' a little while
longer yet.

Gotta go with Rocka (lol!) on this one, Ricky!
We need you! .. :)

Werewolfy
"Gotta go with Rocka (lol!) on this one, Ricky!"
Thanks Dani....;)
I don't like the thought of 'The Great Darkness', so I'll hide away
from it. It's damned persistant though, but I'll try to be around for
many years yet..;)
Ricky
Rocka Billy Yeahaw
It ain't your time yet - there "Wolfy' (Rickie)
- Get use to IT !!!
Just A Thought.
;- )
Rocka Billy Yeahaw
You're not getting out of this - that EASY !!!
[consider it as your time of "self-repentance" here.]
There 'Wolfy'.
Just A 'Self-Reflecting' Thought Here - My Friend.
;- )
PS: Yes, I 'personally' don't care for this new name,
but I got it from a Country Music 'Newsgroup' here
- and it kinda suits my musical preference.
Extra PS: Does that make my like for bands like
"Boston", "Styx" and "Deep Purple" nullified - HERE ???
Just A Thought.

Jane
I don't think so. I personally like all genres, from punk to country
to show tunes and everything in between. what I don't like is 'new
country' (with a few exceptions, like the Dixie Chicks and Tobey
Keith). Give me the classics, like Johnny Cash, Marty Robbins or
George Jones.
If you like Rockabilly, have you heard of the Leroi Brothers from
Texas? You should check them out!
Marvin The Paranoid Android
Or the country queer band Chixie Dicks.
Rocka Billy Yeahaw
Sorry to say - there 'Jane'
But, I do like the Dixie Chicks and Keith Urban (and Shania too).
And I also have a place in My Heart (and music collection) for:
Old Johnny Cash, Marty Robbins, and Jimmy Rogers songs.
[Hey, I even like (and play on guitar) old 'Carter Family' tunes.]
;- )
Rocka Billy Yeahaw
But Nick Lowe and (his ex-wife) Charlene [SP-?] Carter
Are my FAV's !!!
;- |)
PS: I also 'Love' Kelly Pickler too.
Considering that I fronted the "Great Effort"
in bringing her into the Nashville 'Mainstream'
[After finishing in the Top 6 of American Idol.]
I "Whole Heartedly" vouched for her 'Validity'
as a Nashville Artist - HERE.
[And the Nashville ARs - 'listened'.]
Just something here - that you probably never
knew (or hear about me) here.
Rocka Billy Yeahaw
Extra PS:
I, in no way take credit for making Kellie Pickler
a STAR here - She did that - all on her own.
But Nashville may not have taken 'NOTICE' here.
If I hadn't been so "VOCAL".
Just A (Final) Thought - HERE.
