I think that I will write down everything that crosses my mind today. Ought to be interesting huh? Many months ago, I mentioned the lack of humidity in our area, is it like the lake in Chili that disappeared in two months time? I thought about the day that Katrina made landfall and the strange rumbling we heard. I remembered that we had jackets on as we stood on the front porch because it was cold. Most prevalent is the fact that as the raging water came barreling down the street, we were not blown off the porch. I have wondered why the "sonic booms" have stopped, do jets not break the sound barrier anymore? We never get concrete answers .. it's always blamed on global warming.

What do you eat, what toothpaste do you use? Do you eat peanut butter anymore? I don't! It's frightening when "Peter Pan" is not on the grocer's shelves. I read it should be back in July but to me once tainted always tainted. We are to avoid the non brand toothpaste which would be easy but there seems to be no assurance when a brand name like Peter Pan was not safe. My daughter has no idea what to feed her two well cared for dogs anymore. So much of the pet food was tampered with. Funny ... I read an article the other day that said don't feed your dog grapes as it may kill them. So many things seem like nonsense. Manufactured pet foods were responsible for killing numerous pets .. not grapes. By the way, we had german shepherds for many years and not one of them would have eaten a grape if offered.

Crime seems to be on the upswing again .. a convenience store owner was killed yesterday in Biloxi and this morning a Moss Point man was shot and killed in D'Iberville by his estranged wife. People are exhibiting strange behavior. For the past two nights firecrackers are being shot at late hours in the area I live in.

The cities are rebuilding as slowly as the citizens. The casinos are the exception as are condos. Somehow, to me, it all seems wrong when people are still not housed properly. Wouldn't you think that with all the "big money" they put out, to get even more money, some of it could have trickled down to apartment complexes for the ordinary people? Why not be altruistic?
