Neu Awrlins trip

I got off interstate 10 at Chalmette. When you cross over the intercoastal water way and MS. river gulf outlet bridge you can see why any storm from that direction
would be bad news.
Nothing but marsh and lakes. Hwy 47 BTW.
I crossed the ferry and went to Belle Chasse to pick up canvas I'd had made. Then on to Gretna to visit. Stayed too long and got caught in a downpour and traffic.
TV said anywhere from 6 to 11" of rain.

Went to Metairie to stay with old friend. Last year she took some meds. that DR. told her might damage her liver, and did, big time. For now she's living in a studio apt.About as big as my living room.
Will move to son's house soon and apply for SSI.

The trip was a big let down for me. Damn we've all got old or died. Things have changed so much on the westbank, I was lost.

Went to Venice, nothing to see. Gov. told them to rebuild 1st living floor would have to be X' above sea level. So they just built a pad and got trailers.
Very little gas and no groceries below Belle Chasse. Oil Co's are in full swing there. Because they know to build outside levees. The inter and outer levees run
together at Venice.When water gets trapped inside it has to be pumped out.

Sorry no photos. Anything worth a shot would get you ran over or in jail for stopping.

Had good seafood at Deanies, in bucktown. I had the soft shell crabs. Also good in Belle Chasse at Salvo's, but there they serve in go plates.

This goat roping was 570 miles round trip. The 1st 361, I got 36 mpg. After being home and back to H-burg for Dr. visit was 32 mpg.
1 photo. I found this setting on her sink. COCK.
