   you are too kind...
   i try to treat others like i expect to be treated...
   with respect, honesty, compassion and courtesy...
   
   i imagine it was the desire to be a teacher when
   i was young that drives me to help others seek
   answers to problems whether it is at yuku, cbs,
   proboards or any other site i post at...
   
   i have always noticed your serene approach
   to others and the kindness reflected in your
   words...your warm heart shines through in
   the words in many of your posts...it has been
   so nice to read your posts at cbs and now yuku...

   Hi Hazel, just saying hello for now and thank you for being you. I used to have loads of photos from New Orleans, and these were the days w/o digital. Although they are gone now..(my Katrina) I will never forget the beauty of the street musicians, children and even a wagon of watermelons when I toured the area and checked in with Tulane University in my 20's.
   My mom was on a trip and we called me the stow-a-way, it was August... and hotter than hell..my photos made some papers back in the day. Plantations, the french quarter and a mime that was so full of makeup I thought he would die because he couldn't sweat through all the white powder/zinc makeup. I remember the b&w photos of kids less than 12 years old and my poor ass taking their picks and giving them my last 3 bucks.
   My mom and family always said with an American Express card I was still the only one with no money cuz I gave it all away. Can't use credit to get home... I told them once from the 'El" in Chicago. In order to get home I bought a bunch a peeps dinner with my credit card so they would give me 2 bucks to take the train. Pizza and beer 30+ bucks on my card and I had 2 dollars to get on the train!
   
   I went back later and nothing was close to how it was...after Katrina, people lived with us in Colorado, but I think of LA in the same way I think of Indonesia and their tsunami..my brother came back just before the Tsunami there. With pictures hanging on my wall of children on the surf there..I looked up at them and wondered if they still existed...if they had family. These things that happen on the news touch some of us more than most, I really think I am one of those people. I look at where I have been or a loved one is or was and think after these catastrophes..are they okay and how can I help? Sometimes, like my mother says...I just feel things more than most.

   i can recall in the early 60's when i was a
   young child the local farmer who drove his
   horse and wagon through my grandparents
   neighborhood on the northside of town,
   in lafayette, selling his fresh produce...
   
   as our town grew and the oil business grew,
   neighborhoods changed and culture came
   to our french acadien community that was
   so rich in its heritage...progress came and
   we gained some things and lost others...
