re: #9 reine.de.tout

Aha! Then you know how it is.

I have a story about a lady who from MS, after Katrina, whe finally got into her neighborhood to see her house.

She said on the way into the neighborhood, devastation all around her, as they approached her street, she started digging in her handbag for her house keys. And then pulled into her driveway, saw nothing standing, and wondered to herself why she thought she would need her housekeys! Force of habit …
She was in good humor and laughing at herself as she related this story.

To a point. I didn’t live here during Katrina but it’s amazing to see images and video and hear stories from people who did. It’s too bad the National media decided to focus so heavily on New Orleans. Southern MS got it pretty bad too and yet hardly anyone knows that.

While it was a devastating storm, there was a lot of good that came out of it in the way the communities came together and people re-evaluated their lives and the Coast as a whole committed to rebuilding.

I’m still furious about the Oil Spill and those happy smiley BP ads all over TV make me sick. There’s still a lot of oil and damage out there and these idiots want to act like its all gone away now.
