Bee and I were just lamenting skipping over visiting NO on our X-country trip this past February. We were just going to fly back out there "later." We actually got out our trip maps to see where we'd made that decision after seeing the I-10 pictures...
Man. We took the 10 across the country and didn't stop in the Big Easy. Feeling dumb now.
But, tourism concerns aside, I cannot fathom this loss. It's weird... a major city is pretty much gone. It's like 9/11 again, but we can't blame some political/cultural group.
And I had to tell my son what "looting" meant. Another piece of his innocence gone. Still, when these things happen, civilization does go out the window. I can't blame the poor souls who just see opportunity and go for it...I don't think they are thinking right. I sure wouldn't be...
