You gotta have faith

I can’t wait for this week’s Saints-Giants game.

Some 600 displaced New Orleans residents will be flown to the New York-New Jersey area by relief agencies; the city’s police chief, Eddie Compass, will be involved with former president George Bush in the coin toss; and Saints gold and black will be displayed along the blue walls of the stadium and in one of the end zones.

Lakeview Pictures

Stephen Gordon of Lakeview took these pictures on September 8, 2005. This is Jack’s neighborhood.

Milne Mini Mart

The pictures were originally posted in St. Dominic’s forums, but they were a little slow to load, so I have copied them over to our photo gallery here:

Stephen, whoever you are, I apologize for taking your pictures. If don’t want them up here, let me know.

Jack heads back to NO

Jack left this morning to head back to New Orleans. We assume his house is still underwater, but Waterford has set up temporary housing for employees on the site of the plant. They said that trailers go to families with children first, and there was a brief mention of tents, as well.

I told him that if they set him up in a tent, to come back to Altanta. You don’t want to sleep in a tent in Taft, LA in September.

He’s loaded up with a generator, de-humidifier, and a new set of cordless power tools that he purchased here in Atlanta as well. We don’t know when he’s going to be able to get to his house, but he’s prepared for when they let him back in.
