Flood & Loathing: That Voodoo That You Do
http://floodandloathing.blogspot.com/2007/03/that-voodoo-that-you-do.html
Hard Times in the Big Easy. Monday, March 05, 2007. That Voodoo That You Do. Okay, listen, I’m sorry! I’m really, really sorry. I don’t know what it was that I did to you, but whatever it was, I take it back. I’ll make up for it however I can. If you’re the person who put a curse on me, whoever you are, I’ll make it right. Just take the curse off, please. I buy a house, renovate it, and it floods a month later before I can even move in, destroying all my books and most other possessions with it. Neverthe...

Hard Times in the Big Easy. Wednesday, October 18, 2006. Julie's Pics, or I'm A Big Lazy Butt. Links to this post. Monday, October 02, 2006. Published a (very positive) review. Of the latest issue of the New Orleans Review. Links to this post. A year ago today I got home. We had to kick in the doors because they were all swollen shut and, after five weeks of trying to figure out just how bad the flooding was from blurry satellite photos – “Is that a hole in the roof, or just missing shingles? The NO....

Flood & Loathing: September 2006
http://floodandloathing.blogspot.com/2006_09_01_archive.html
Hard Times in the Big Easy. Wednesday, September 13, 2006. Anniversary Wine and Air-Conditioning. In the meantime, I spent all my time on the phone talking to FEMA, Loyola, two different mortgage companies, two different insurance companies, and various credit cards and banks, all in an effort to get my little life in order. When not doing that, I sat on the phone with whiskey in hand, tracking down friends. To Katrina, floods, and governmental incompetence. Two bottles down, one to go. Links to this post.

Hard Times in the Big Easy. Wednesday, January 03, 2007. Stepping Over Lamp Posts. Now, while I had no reason to doubt Gav, my fears were deepened when the inspector showed up because he said the exact same thing. Yep, the city inspector said Entergy would lie to me and I would have to spend days on the phone with them, trying to make them find the permit he had faxed over days ago. Needless to say, this didn't bode well. I have a permit! I cried. "Right here in my hand.". I AM MOVING INTO MY HOUSE!

Sunday, October 30, 2005. Friday was a big day for public schools in New Orleans. Immediately after the storm NOPS announced there would be no classes til next fall, meanwhile the private schools were rushing back into action as fast as ever they could. Then, when it was obvious you couldn't have New Orleans without kids, and you couldn't have kids without schools, they announced they'd open a few West Bank schools and let anyone attend them. Link to TV Report. When refrigerators first started appearing ...

http://katrinachronicles.blogspot.com/2005_11_01_archive.html
Tuesday, November 29, 2005. That's the only explanation I can think of. I backed out of the driveway yesterday and this was on the front walk. I've decided to leave it for a while.
