A cool front has set in and the weather is close to perfect here in New Orleans. Arlene and I headed to the LaLa to clean up all the mess from the week. While we were there B and his crew showed up to work on the siding since it is a day without rain and that is a good thing. I opened up the house and let the cool breeze blow through – while Arlene hung out on the porch watching the bayou traffic, I swept up sawdust that is still making me sneeze. <\/p>\n
Afterwards, I ran into an old friend crossing the Dumaine Street bridge, she said she’s moved to Ida Street right behind where I live. Then I ran into J smoking a cig and he said he too is moving at the end of the year. He bought his ex-wife’s house because she can no longer afford it but unfortunately it’s on the Westbank. <\/p>\n
He told me the story about his kid’s dog, who had been left at the vet during Katrina – the vet stayed with all the dogs (which J found funny since so many physicians didn’t stay with their patients) and Matthew McConaughy ended up evacuated the dog with a bunch of other pets he rescued. The dog wound up in Houston and needed an operation, so a Texan undertook the expense of the operation and about a month after the storm, his kids were telephoned that the dog was safe and healthy and ready to join them. Then another person flew the dog home on a private plane. I told J I hope they renamed that dog Lucky. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
