I would be careful to not drink the city water for a while, without boiling it somehow.
My electricity was out for a week, and at that time I didn;t have a generator. Trying to sleep at night while it was hot, no electric, windows wide open and you could hear all the generators running loudly in the neighborhood. It was a miserable week, but hey.. a lot more other people had it a lot worse. My heart goes out to them...

glad to see ur safe komik!

I think those people who stayed are dumb because now they are stuck on their roof top hoping to be rescued, some people who are not flooded are stranded, and the super dome is flooded with 10k people in it and almost no roof.

Quoted in bold to bring this up fresh.
Serious now, am sorry to hear this, but am glad you are reporting real time to Scion Life.
Gives us a feeling of knowing more what it is like in New Orleans right now.
Best wishes to you Komik. Please update as much as you can.
take care,
reid

I want to thank this crew from Texas that restored our power yesterday afternoon.
These men are based in Houston. They are courteous and efficient and they,
like many other utility linemen, have given up the comforts of home and family to
help out people living far away while working in adverse conditions.
Look for them in New Orleans next. Good guys.

I tell the various people pictured on these pages to check out this thread at Scion Life for their souvenir portraits from Miami. They'll see this thread, showing in its small way, that their will-do efforts are appreciated.

After watching the news for the past four days I am wondering why the hell didnt they have a plan. Its not like it was a suprise but yet thousands are sleeping on the street and dying with no help in site. The media is interviewing stranded people and leaving them there wtf is up with that. I just dont get why its taking so long if something happened in another country we would be there in a nano second.

-This is unneeded diversion from the real topic: New Orleans-
However, life goes on. Perhaps entertainment helps lighten the burden of tragedy?

The camera did make a 6mb video of mom and son... a sort of interview.
It's a funny clip. And she's soooooo sweet .

I could make a verse for her, placing the son as the narrator. We work from the photographic clues:



Mami, you're so super fine.
You gave me such a perfect life.

I am nearly now full grown now.

But why is it I have this look?
Because, my Mami-super-fine,
From your toes grows fruiting vine.

From toes to lips you're cherry wine.

I am the son who drinks your heart.
You are the mom who gave me mine.






pls. keep alive to good things and other people

Day before yesterday the Delray Beach crew of Tree King was working in this Miami neighborhood. One of them knocked on my door- the shirtless Mark here below.
"You got those pictures of George and me you made a when we were last here?"
see the previous page
Yeah, I made your prints but I tell you it's going to embarass George... well, you'll see.

So I made a funny show of razzing George but really- I told them the obvious fun thing: that George oughta be into latin-market clothing-modeling.
even for those alternative kinds of still shoots, solo I mean.
George was all smiles at his photogenic-ness which was a revelation to him.
"Hell YEAH I'd do that for money, hell, yes!" And his equally young friend, the one on the right in this shot, he chimes for his chance "Yeah! I'd do it for money you bet!"

These guys work so hard for so little money for days without a break now, that it must seem like a fantasy to get paid for -not working-.
And it probably is...yet, George on the previous page does have a camera charisma that goes past otherwise common, sultry looks

The anglo youth on the left thought -also- thought all this is all a grand idea. .... but it's all for me now, they opened themselves up for a real portrait, hoping I guess to get something as good as George's portraits.
They succeed even better, by not posing.

I post this picture because it says something good about our human needs for attention; for someone to say from out of the blue: "Hey, you guys are interesting enough to make a character study-
So they are, they are. And that's all this is: Two youths, and one more, past that age of first innocence and immortal immunity.
They've not been soured, not yet, and this is why I like them.


my kick: knowing the guys will see this thread

LIAR, LIAR: The NY Times reports the White House was informed of Hurricane Katrina's potential damage hours before the storm hit. On TV, President Bush said they hadn't anticipated Katrina, but documents dated August 29th predicted "any Hurricane category 4 or better will likely lead to severe flooding."
