You may get the sense of deja vu from this update.. because it will sound similar to the update I may have posted a few weeks ago. That's because governments and such are dragging ass in this recovery effort. St. Bernard Parish in particular have national guardsmen putting a porch and swing on Junior Rodriguez, the Parish President's double-wide trailer (sitting behind the parish government complex). Now, I'm pretty sure that he needs a porch to block out the sun from his splotchy skin whilst he swings back and forth gazing in awe of his empire of Chalmette. Yes, here's a man with REAL vision, folks. I hear they've even gotten electricity to two of the many street lights.. and if you break out your calculator kids, that's 1 street light per 30 days since the storm. Way to go! How about some REAL recovery. I can't rebuild my house in any kind of timely manner with hand tools. If we were an Amish community, we'd have all been home and functional by now. All I do know is that I'll be dealing with my mortgage company again in January, and I'm not in the mood to start paying the remaining 120K+ on a house in which I can't live in. So, if you insist on handling this catastrophe at a turtle pace, allow me to walk away and start anew elsewhere, because I could give a flying fuck about anything but my investment. If I do wind up being the only resident left, so be it... that'll be an easier drive into work each morning. So.. pretty please, the least you can do for leaving us all so vulnerable over the past 40 years, stop building porches and swings and start doing something more useful for the citizens who are giving up in droves on ever returning.
The sight of this duo hardly brings comfort nor competence.
