I'm back

Nov 20, 2006 13:08

I just returned from a 5 day trip to visit my friends Gary and Randy in Biloxi, Mississippi, which had been ravaged by Hurricane Katrina. Most of the debris has been cleared away, but to see lots of vacant lots where buildings used to stand, and the remains of buidings and bridges is disturbing indeed. Gary and I took a side trip to New Orleans on ( Read more... )

Welcome back my friend,, I'm glad you had a good time.

It does indeed sound eerie with all the emptiness there,, although to my mind strangely restful.... {shrugs}

Welcome back mikhailv November 21 2006, 13:16:15 UTC

Thanks, my friend. How are you doing? Everyone and everything OK, or at least 'semi-OK'? My love to Froggie. BTW, you look smashing with the beard, I told you that you would, you handsome beast.

Yes, I had a great time. There was a lot of 'heart' in this trip. Brave, gutsy people in the Gulf Coast, considering what they've been thru and are still going thru. The government and insurance companies can all go to hell. It's a disgrace, their greed and indifference and incompetence are disgusting.

The devastation from Katrina is actually more eerie than horrific, but terrible enough. But, my friends were very happy that I came down. It was a trip I shall never forget, and I intend to return.

I'd say semi ok,, I'm tired,, and i've still not managed to move out of froggies but I'll pass on love to froggie and prod her to come online and say hello :)

I could join in the rant about katrina too but but i know i'd be singing to the quior (yeah spelt wrong,, brains defunct lol):) did you ever watch 'When the Levies Broke' ? A very scary and saddening film :(

hugs my friend
