Good thing he's got the ugly woman in case the claw hammer fails him!
I don't know anyone that lives in New Orleans or the surrounding areas (well my husband has an uncle by marriage - we think they are still married - he lives in that area). ANYway, it breaks my heart to see the photos of the devastation and to hear people talk about it. I've never been a "I MUST live by the sea/ocean" person. I'm not a big fan of large bodies of water. I'm an excellant swimmer, I just don't like swimming with other live things though dogs are ok. I also know the dangers of living on the coast. Before we moved to Germany in 1990, we visited a bunch of friends and family all along the eastern seaboard. It was right after Charleston, SC got hit with Hurricane Hugo. I was in shock to see boats a 1/2 mile inland. The devastation down there was nothing compared to Katrina. When I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around something, I try to picture myself in their shoes. I cried so much last night while watching a story about a woman who had a baby then got split up from him during evacuations and her husband's 97 yr old grandfather was missing from his nursing home. They found the baby and the grandfather in Houston. Happy ending but still, imagine if that was you and your newborn. Tell me you aren't tearing up thinking about how you would feel in that situation. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the victims as well as survivors. Please be safe and may you find some peace in this desperate time of need.
