Oh, David, the city we knew is gone forever. The trees, the homes, the neighborhoods... and there's talk that whole neighborhoods will have to be razed because of haz mat situations. And the people, my God! No one who made it through the hell of the Dome, the Convention Center, the I10 and Causeway, or the rooftops for days waiting for help that did not come will ever be the same again. So many of the children I've taught were trapped in that hell, I'm sure. They won't be children anymore.
Dave, I've got to end this. Wallowing won't help a thing. Take care and keep in touch.
