Tim - its headline news in the UK and I have a poster of shotgun houses
on by bedroom wall bought in New Orleans in 2000 after a greyhound bus
trip from Mobile. I hope the houses have survived though i find myself
thinking more of the people I met even those who politely begged for
money. Commiserations.
