Residents streamed inland in bumper-to-bumper traffic in an agonizingly slow exodus amid dire warnings that Ivan could overwhelm New Orleans with up to 20 feet of filthy, chemical-polluted water. About three-quarters of a million more people along the coast in Florida, Mississippi and Alabama also were told to evacuate. AREA GETS CLOUDS, WINDS, RAIN FROM HURRICANE IVAN Tuesday was a cloudy and windy day in Lee and Collier counties. The clouds, wind and some rain came from Hurricane Ivan, which was expected to pass far offshore from Southwest Florida early this morning. Because Ivan remained about 350 miles off the coast, its effects were so mild Tuesday that if you weren't paying attention to the news you wouldn't know it was a hurricane. Forecasters said winds gusted into the 25 mph range in Southwest Florida. HURRICANES DISRUPT LIFE ALL ACROSS SOUTHWEST FLORIDA Four weeks and three hurricanes ago, life in Southwest Florida was much different. That was before people learned to live in the dark, with plywood or aluminum shutters blotting out the sun. Before they learned to live without refrigeration, blow-dryers and other conveniences of electricity. Before they learned how to be consumed by panic and boredom at the same time. Hurricanes Charley, Frances and Ivan have disrupted lives in the biggest and smallest of ways, affecting people from all walks of life. GOSS COMES UNDER FIRE FOR PARTISANSHIP, TIES TO BUSH WASHINGTON � Senate Democrats took aim at Rep. Porter Goss' record on intelligence reform, his partisanship and allegiance to President Bush during a sometimes-heated confirmation hearing for the nominee to head the CIA. The Sanibel Republican told the Senate intelligence committee Tuesday that he would work to be an objective voice despite a record that includes partisan attacks on Democrats. Yet Goss drew his sharpest criticism from Democrats on the panel angered that he wouldn't explain his actions or comments on many tough issues ranging from intelligence funding to reform.

That's what Naples City Council member Penny Taylor wonders whether the city ought to tell motorcyclists. It seems the loud, throaty rumble of serious bikes irritate the outdoor-dining crowd. Perhaps. There are other patrons of Fifth Avenue South who find the fleeting culture clash amusing. They get a kick out of watching the bikers go out of their way to show off, rattle cages or both.

"There's nobody here, nobody's shopping," said Ruzicka, manager of the Indian jewelry shop on Fifth Avenue South in Naples. The drop in customer traffic follows one of the most profitable summer seasons in the five years she has worked at the store. The loss of business doesn't bother Ruzicka, who is anticipating a good season.

And if we were in Japan, where master sushi chefs train for 10 years or more, the intimidation factor would be pretty high. Charlie Yun, a sushi chef at Sushi 'n' Pop in Fresno, Calif., says Japanese chefs need more training because they often have 20 to 25 types of fish to work with a t any one time, far more than the average sushi restaurant in the United States. "Japan has four seasons of fish." See more of today�s Neapolitan stories at http://www.naplesnews.com/npdn/neapolitan
