Ho! Hum!

So much time has passed and any of you that are regular readers must be getting bored with such a depressing blog. What can I say? I am writing the truth about the way things are in South Mississippi. I am part of the unfolding events that are taking place each day. The most serious problem that I see for the citizens from the three coastal counties is that most aren't going to be able to build their homes with personal likes and dislikes that make it unique to them Modular homes are being recommended as they can be "assembled" rather quickly. To the homeless anything is better than a FEMA trailer, right?

East Beach in Pascagoula is allowing the few homes remaining to be repaired but, if insurance rates go up as high as predicted, it will have all been in vain. Because people will not be able to absorb the projected insurance hikes they will be forced to abandon their property over to what many call prosperity. Our beaches will be commercialized where many condos and casinos will arise as victors over the devastation but it will take years for the heartache in the people of coastal Mississippi to heal.

Personally, there are days I dread getting up in the mornings. What could have changed from the mundane day before. A little stress is good to keep the adrenalin flowing to accomplish the tasks of the day but too much is a downer. Today was one of those mornings but out of necessity I needed to go to the grocery store. I realized that last night when all I had for supper was four slices of cheese and no bread to put the cheese on. I went to the store where I took what groceries I wanted from the shelves, put groceries in basket, took groceries to the check out counter where I took groceries out of basket, rolled basket to car where I put groceries in car, arrived home and took groceries out of car, and went into house and put groceries away. Now didn't reading that aggravate you? Good! That was my intention. It is a perfect example of what my days have been like.

See you next post when I recover from my mundaneness!
