A Double Whammy????

The way it looks right now.....New Orleans and most of the Louisiana coast will miss this new storm, we hope! I have been watching the storm since it began to develop out there.....New Orleans could NOT take another hit. It would just absolutely DESTROY what was left.

I made my way to New Orleans, or rather, to Gretna, the area that I lived in, over the weekend just passed. It didn't look much better than when I went there the week following when the storm first hit. The power had been restored to the complex my apartment was in so.......dodged a little bit of the stench.....the freezer full of food that included fish, shrimp and 10 pounds of chicken, re-frooze so it wasn't quite as bad as it could have been but....bad enough! I had almost a full bottle of Jagermeister in the freezer (which I don't drink) and since it's pretty much nasty stuff anyway, I figured it was probably okay.....one of the maintenence guys there begged me for it. I gave it to him. Poor little devil, he's going to have to deal with replacing 204 refrigerators, at least 1/3rd of them needing to be taken up about three flights of stairs! I felt sorry for him!

Anyway.....please......all of you folks that read Kim Procrastinates.........please, please, PLEASE say a collective prayer, mantra, whatever to keep this flipping storm away from there! There are still too many people there that, for whatever reason, will not or can not leave. I don't want to see anyone else go away! Also, if the storm decides to go there, even too close to it, the levees on the mainland of New Orleans will fail and the levees that are still not complete on the Westbank will also fail. The Westbank......that's where my former little corner of the world is.

Trailer life isn't so bad. I guess. At least I have a home, of sorts. Thanks!
