Well, it’s cloudy and 70 degrees. Both some of the rainiest looking weather, though yesterday it only rained for a few minutes, and some of the warmest we’ve had so far. Yesterday, with fluffy clouds in the sky, it got up to 78-80.

And now? Well, it looks like it’s the hurricane that has flooded New Orleans. We stopped off in NO when we came here. It was cold and everyone kept telling us how dangerous it was. We didn’t have a good time and it wasn’t worth the 20 hour detour that it took for us to get there and back on our trail to Greenville.

Well, now, after it’s been flooded, I wonder if they’ll reconstruct it and if the “dangerous” elements are coming back? Too bad about NO. I hope they weather, no pun intended, this through. However, I wont be going back for a visit any time soon. Much better to come up here to Greenville. However, to be fair, my brother-in-law, Donald, loves the place.

John has been following the news. The only news I saw was a reporter crouching down behind a mail box. He let a rebar go and it skidded away in the wind. Ouch. Good luck New Orleans. I hope all goes well, for Donald’s sake. 😉
