Anyone who has been reading this blog for any length of time knows that I lived, loved and worked in Louisiana. Katrina pretty much put the greater New Orleans area, Orleans, Jefferson and St. Bernard Parishes on life support. To such an extent that I will never go back even to visit. It would break my heart. And now the oil disaster is sweeping though and area I know intimately, Breton and Chandeleur Sounds. I worked out there for almost two years running crew boats.
A reader of my blog, and the author of one of the most literate blogs I read, The Task At Hand, sent this to me today…
