full moon on my bday! woot woot! haha
I don't know why I never came back to update my trip. I went to NO in October 2006. The French Quarter is still up and running. A few businesses have closed. I walked through some of the business district and that was still torn up. Once it was a normal looking city with tall businesses buildings up and running. In Oct. it looked war ravaged. Most of the buildings still had windows missing, with plastic cover ripped and blowing in the breeze. Every other sidewalk had orange cones around them. Alot of store fronts had construction men walking in and out with their hard hats on. There was rebuilding everywhere! It was coming back to life. Slowly but passionately.
I was at a car rental place. I asked what they did with their cars before the hurricane. They had managed to move a few. But most were covered with water and had to be junked. My friend and I were driving to her mother's house. She said to me as we were driving, "Remember when you saw people living on the overpasses of the freeway on the news, waiting for rescue? Look up. We're driving under one now." She said it so casually. I think she was being reverant.
I did not make it to the lower ninth ward. But I still saw chaos and devastation from the freeway. Many many buildings abandoned and boarded up. Water marks on houses every where. The traffic and people are not as dense as once was.
I was lucky to be able to find my favorite bartender. She stayed the duration. She and her home had been one of the lucky ones to survive. She still worked at the same bar I had met her in. (She actually owns it) I asked her how life has been in the year since Katrina. Not quoting word for word, but what she said amazed me. She misses her regular customers. Many moved on with the hurricane. Most she hasn't spoken to since before Katrina. Business is slow and the bills are higher. Once she paid $ 150 a month for the electric bill. She now pays $ 600 due to increases by Entergy. But what she told me next made me cry for her and they many who's lives changed so dramitcally. She said, "Da'lin, I imagined myself growing old in this city. I was going to be the funny old lady in my silly southern hat sitting at the bar still cussin' like a sailor. Now I may need to move. Not because I want to. But because I HAVE to. The business is not here like it use to be. The energy bills are eating me alive. It's just not fair that I may leave not because I WANT to. But because I HAVE to".

happy fool moon
exactly dtn, which is why i'm not really concerned. people like it when i go loony anyway. *eye twitches*
the only thing that would concern me is if the full moon was supposed to make me really blue, or down, or contemplative. i don't want that, nuh-uh, not on that particular day.
Sola,
i am sure you are already making a soap in your mind about him and you and your grand love story,offcourse with the complicated plot of him being taken right now.

Oh my cousins have the same birthday. The girl, She doesnt act like a typical leo either.
A full moon will make it easier to finding a hiding place to make some special memories in!
