it is unbelievable that a year later, a lot of new orleans and the gulf coast is still in ruins---from the poor houses in the lower 9th ward (left) to jefferson davis' house, beauvoir, at biloxi (right)----but, hey, we're the greatest country in the world, right?
the rude pundit reports in more detail about new orleans---ask me about beauvoir

Each of us is all the sums he has not counted: subtract us into nakedness and night again, and you shall see begin in Crete four thousand years ago the love that ended yesterday in Texas.
The seed of our destruction will blossom in the desert, the alexin of our cure grows by a mountain rock, and our lives are haunted by a Georgia slattern, because a London cutpurse went unhung. Each moment is the fruit of forty thousand years. The minute-winning days, like flies, buzz home to death, and every moment is a window on all time.
john northbrooke, c. 1570
