I can't believe that's actually real. It's just too good.
It reminds me of the communications director for FEMA complaining to FEMA's man in the Dome after Katrina that the line at the restaurant in Baton Rouge was too long.
What restaurant was it? Why, Ruth's Chris, of course.
Reality is much better than fiction.
I did not know about the Ruth's Chris/Brownie connection. Arrrrg.
I don't really know what the USACE will being testing that requires blowing things up. But I like this part: "A specific date or time is not yet available as the event will be weather dependent."
So if I travel to central Louisiana any time in the next year or so, I should beware of explosions.
