Katrina

It's been two years since Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans and parts of the Mississippi coast. To date, there has been a great deal of recovery and the tourist industry is back on track. Those residents who have returned are slowly trying to rebuild. Having recently been in New Orleans, there is so much more to be done. As a matter of fact, there are still some bodies that have yet to be buried. Sad aint it? And yes I go back to the Occupation. Billions wasted over there while folk here struggle to regain their lives. Then I look up today and see another 50 billion has been requested for the Occupation. WTF? I am glad I had an opportunity to give back to a resident in New Orleans. Wish I was in a position to do more.
