Flew from New Orleans to Houston and back today. The Big Queasy is still pretty ragged. Most traffic lights downtown are still not working. Most hospitals are still not open. Overall it’s a little cleaner than before Christmas. Found an open Subway sandwich place that was very busy and the help was friendly.
No doubt New Orleans will be “chocolate” again. I understand that Mexicans drink a LOT of hot chocolate, and I know that’s what Mayor Nagin meant. During my six weeks of consulting in NO I ran into several workers, white and black, complaining about the number of Hispanics in the clean-up work crews. Heh. Get used to it.
Speaking of the mayor, he’s about as “chocolate” as a PayDay bar.
Memo to Department of Homeland Security. If you’re going to wear your official DHS shirts on the jet, don’t ride First Class, or vice versa. It tends to make you look like UN “assessment teams” waiting for the 5-star hotels to open up.
