That's awesome that you lived there. Yeah, I miss back home also. I'm glad you got to see it before Katrina. I go there pretty often. The city is mostly built back, but the outlaying areas never really came back. St. Bernard, Lakeview and the 9th Ward are still pretty messed up. The streets are really bad. But hey, it's home. I love visiting and I think I would move back for a little while, but the first hurricane evacuation will remind me why I live in dry old Texas. It's great to go as a tourist though. I'm sure it's very different than Arizona. Now it must be really hot over there.

My cats' names are Boudreaux, Gumbeaux, SneauxBeau, GeauxFur, Gator, Tabideaux, and SkippyJon. I used to have YeauxYeaux, Achoux, RouxMiceter, DeauxNut and Lagniappe. The vet tries to spell them phonetically in her records so she knows how to pronounce them.
