Big Easy Ain't So Easy..

......for some poor bastards on the gas rig that blew up last night...it was that dull, rumbling kind of boom you hear on a still night coming over the water. Wondered why I didn't hear any sirens, then we heard about. Two dead; two missing (dead, too)....four families all torn up...here one minute,gone the next On a more positive note, we had an enlightenment type happening on Bourbon Street, the River Walk, brunch of beignet and dandy java....mostly rubbernecking...Manhattan kinds of street smells...a huge delegation of laughing Jewish folks from Russia with big name tags pouring out of the Hyatt.
