Survivor Story

About an hour later he finally comes back… apparently there are kids no older than 14 riding around on the streets packing 9mm’s and shooting at people. He decided to wait for that shit to clear out before heading back. Also, an old man had been walking his dog at 6am and was beaten to death on the street a couple of blocks away, for really no good reason. I head up a little while later to use the restroom as well. I also grab some clothes for Mike and fill every dish I can easily access with food and water for Tippi, just in case we’re never able to make it back.
I can see it in my dreams…

Generosity

Even though it looks like rescue efforts in NOLA proper have been severly hampered by conditions and government agencies, it looks like people still find ways to help.
