Today alternates between sunshine and overcast skies. Harrison and Hancock counties received much needed rain this morning but Pascagoula received none. Here's hoping that this evening we may get a "mild" thunderstorm or two.

I decided to ride around at noon and look for improvements that I may have missed. I didn't see anything that justifies all the money that is said to be alloted to our area. People are still waiting anxiously for what the Homeowner's Grant Assistance Program decides to "grant" them so they can at least start rebuilding their homes. As the houses that have sat for ten months without repair fall into further dilapidation, the spirit of the people sinks even lower. You would have to live it to believe how depressing it can be.

I have made comments about the casinos, derogatory ones, but they will bring revenue to our state and cities. So any of you who plan on vacationing this year, and like to gamble, come to the Mississippi Coast and leave your money here. The casinos have prepared rooms for the tourists. My husband and I gambled because it was fun and we had the money to lose. We didn't walk up the stairs to the high roller's area, we played the slots. If you can afford to walk up those stairs by all means go!!!

The pics below will just be put in randomly, to show you a little of life in Pascagoula, soon to be one year later.

Working On It

The two pics above were taken in downtown Pascagoula. Notice the streets. All around our area there are countless "potholes" and thousands of people that have grown tired of waiting. Will it ever happen?
