Borrowed from
cleolinda's LiveJournal.  Here are the instructions:

1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the next 3 sentences on your blog along with these instructions.
5. Don't you dare dig for that "cool" or "intellectual" book in your closet! I know you were thinking about it! Just pick up whatever is closest.
6. Tag three people.

"Another riverman, Jimmy Duckworth, had already taken refuge at home on Old Metairie Road in New Orleans.  Some New Orleanians believed that no one knew the byzantine waterways of Louisiana better than Jimmy Duckworth.  Because he was going to leave active duty with the U.S Coast Guard Reserve in a few days, he was going to sit Katrina out."

from The Great Deluge: Hurricane Katrina, New Orleans, and the Mississippi Gulf Coast, by Douglas Brinkley.
