Anyway Covid has taken a back seat to the hurricane.

What has been interesting is with the spike in cases in August, nothing was really shutdown. Last year the state was damn near shutdown with lower case rates. I guess we had to get Biden elected.

People i know really have had enough. Living our lives a little smarter, but things are pretty much normal around me.


Went down to my camp at Lake Verret early this morning to check on it and see what was needed. No redlights were working West of the Sunshine Bridge. Long lines waiting on the shoulder of Hwy 70 wherever stations had gas.

Got to Hwy 1 at Bayou Lafourche and a state trooper escorted convoy was headed south on Hwy 1 with big front end loaders and dozers.

East Feliciana and Saint Helena parishes still in the dark and much of both Parishes are without tap water.

Things are going slow but improving daily. Coming back from the Lake I filled up with gas and there was no waiting line. The same station was roped off when I passed it earlier this morning. Saw many gas tankers on the road.

Things further east and south still have a long ways to go. All that’s left of a buddy’s place at Leeville are the pilings for his boat lift.

You’ve seen all of this before.
