It seems like so long ago
It was really just last Summer, though it may as well have been a decade ago, as it will never be the same again. In watching all the very sad coverage of what New Orleans and other parts of the Gulf Coast are going through, I started thinking about what seemed like way-back-when, and how good a time I had when I visited New Orleans. I can't believe it was just fifteen months ago. I doubt it will be anywhere near "normal" come fifteen months from now.
The way things are going, it almost seems like they're going to have to just pour dirt over the whole city to fill-in the bowl, bring it all up to sea level, and then just start all over with a brand-new city. New2 Orleans?
My sympathies to all who are suffering in those parts. I can't begin to imagine your pain. I'm a little perturbed that donation links have not appeared on major web sites for this disaster as quickly as they did shortly after the tsunamis last December.
