Adios
Got up early to meet up with Adam and get in an easy spin before I hit the bricks. After two easy hours and a handshake I split for base camp. After gathering up some pecan cut for the Bland family smoker, I did my best to fix a downed chainsaw before I left. Before I could sneak off Yvonne Fulton packed up a load of shrimp caught by a family friend.
I said my goodbyes to the Fultons who assured me I did not need to leave. I am sure they could use my help for some time to come, but its back to work for me.

Karl, I have enjoyed reading your reports on your Gulf Coast experience. Thanks for the snapshot of life after The Hurricane. I agree that you must admire those people that take that kind of beating and manage to keep their spirits high. Amazing!

It has been hard to put down in words. I have done my best which might leave people with some understanding.
The people of the Gulf Coast really have a great spirit. I just wrote a friend who asked about the people, that it is hard to imagine life without possession. These people know it, and they are not afraid. At least the people I have encountered. I have tlaked to a couple of people since getting home, and I may be headed back with some help over Mardi Gras.
Back home to the cold and damp...eh? What exactly would "back to work" be? I see you've picked up a few new skills in the South, may come in handy in South County, or Illinois for that matter. Look forward to being dropped by you on a group ride, chow!
Everybody is a joker. Yes, I am back to work at Florissant Valley Community College where I am a Professor of Fine Arts.
