[StBernard] Crime

[Westley Annis]

	Wow, you sound totally paranoid.  I lived on the West Side of
Chicago during the Martin Luther King riots and rose over that.  I think I
was more scared of that than Katrina.  That shouldn't stop[ you from coming
back.  Best of luck and don't be scared, but if you are, sleep with your
revolver (facing West).
