[StBernard] Election

[Westley Annis]

I think as time goes on few & few people are returning to the Parish.  I
think most people have given up. The election yesterday was an example of
that.  A little over 3500 people voted.  That's sad.  It's so heartbreaking
for those of us that really want to go back. Forces are keeping us from
doing so.  A lady ask me why would I or anyone would want to move back to
such a devastated area.  I looked her in the eyes and said because that's my
home.
 
I see no sign of rebuilding in Arabi.  I bet 100 people don't live in
Carolyn Park now. I try to go home (to my FEMA mansion) and stay over night
but it's so lonely and quite.  Not 1 person within a scream of my house.
 
I don't know, maybe I'm feeling sorry for myself, AGAIN or I need friends to
vent to, AGAIN.  Maybe someone can show me a sign of hope, , , ,
