Why does it seem that when catastrophe strikes that terrible tragedies seem to continue. There are numerous people who had rebuilt their homes only to have them destroyed again by fire. It has been a short time since the entire Coast was rejoicing when two lanes of the Bay St. Louis bridge opened to traffic. Yesterday nine construction workers fell from scaffolding when a pillar collapsed and plunged them into the Bay. Eight of them were rescued and taken to the hospital where one of them died from injuries. Today the body of the ninth victim was recovered. The memory that two people lost their lives building the bridge will remain with all who live here.

The next two pictures are not very pretty .. just a pile of rubble now.. the old Pascagoula post office. Whatever is built, will certainly be nicer than the Fema trailer.


There are many things taking place all along the Coast. None of it is fast but still we are inching our way to recovery. We will overcome. Katrina was said to be unprecedented, shouldn't have happened. Well folks, we have a lot of "shouldn't have happened" in our world today. The Attorney General of Mississippi has filed a lawsuit against the Governor of Mississippi and the NAACP is threatening to sue the city of Biloxi for not having a proportionate number of blacks in a particular school. I see both of these issues as a "ploy".

I didn't take many pictures today but I did get one of new construction.
