nothing you've seen or heard begins to describe what's happening - unimaginable is the least effective description possible - bodies floating around - no help anywhere near the city until today - now they're acting like heroes - the most shameful thing i've ever seen or heard of. even though they've brought stuff in today they're still not distributing it - people continue to die from exposure and dehydration.

stupid me, i deal with a local bank - no access to saving because they can't get their shit together - credit card still works though - we can hang for quite a while yet.

thanks to everybody for your thoughts, prayers and expressions of concern - my whole family is touched and appreciates it very much.

probably no communication for a long time, but i'll remember your thoughtfulness for the rest of my life.

wish you and everyone down there the best

I'm sooooo sorry for you, and can't imagine what you're going through. But I'm glad you're alive. Glad you have kept a line on resources too. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help.

Anybody have a line on that?

I am going to try and see if I can get an answer directly
from a reporter at the Times Picayune (which I don't even
know how to spell.)
