Had an inside day today, continuing to watch the developing horror story in New Orleans. I do not understand why this has gone so badly out of hand. After 5 days, there is still no enforcement of law and order, no drinking water, food or healthcare. The mayor of New Orleans had a 12 minute rant on local radio, parts of which were relayed by CNN. Classic. It appears that president Bush is at a total loss as to what to do about this situation. Play about on AOL for a bit. Mrs B's son from Glasgow has arrived today for a 1 week stint. This coming week there will be celebrations for the 100th anniversary of the opening of the original town hall, and he has a part to play in that. The present day town hall was erected in 1925, seven years after the first one burnt down.
