    If you parked your car at the Port Of NO before Katrina....

    Some people try to turn back their odometers. Not me! I want people to know why I look this way. I've traveled a long way, and some of the roads weren't paved.

    This would be one time people who paid the extra and parked in the upper levels of the parking garage lucked out big time as far as water damage....

    Don't be sorry!! It was just sad to see. People were dying and homeless, and these people were looting everything!!

    I kept hearing reports about the looters going wild the first couple of days and the police didn't have enough help to stop them. Someone told me that at one point the looters outnumbered the police by 30 to 1. Don't know how true that was.

    Feel sorry for those people.

    I can't remember where I read something about a couple of Carnival passengers who were cruising at that time lost their homes. Immagine being on a cruise and at the end learning that you have no home to go to.

    At these times a person's true character is revealed. Some pitch in to help others, while some become vultures and parasites.

    Thankfully the former outnumber the latter.
