After the Storm

Vinson and I went to New Orleans Monday to visit with the New Orleans Libertarians at their monthly meeting. The New Orleans Rep. Ray is doing a great job down there. The meeting was interesting and we saw many new faces.
Lee Horne let us stay overnight in his apartment in the French Quarter. We walked down Bourbon Street that night and were surprised at the lack of tourist. Many of the shops were open for business waiting for any passing tourist.
On Tuesday we ate beignets for breakfast and enjoyed the street musician. It was strange to walk in the French Quarter in the middle of summer and only pass a few people. We did some window shopping and I happened to look across the street at one point and saw Mitch Landrieu walking into a restaurant.
If you visit New Orleans anytime soon check out the store Wicked Orleans on Decatur Street. This was a very cool shop. They had some really interesting clothes and the shop owner was friendly. You can find them online at www.wickedorleans.com We will definitely stop by again.
We found a new museum. It is a museum about Hurricane Katrina and is free to the public. We walked around the small museum for a while and looked at the pictures of the flood they had posted around.
After lunch we decided to head back home. On the way out of New Orleans Vinson pointed out areas where they had worked to rescue people during the flood.
Unfortunately we forgot to bring a camera so next time we return to New Orleans I will be sure to pack the camera and share some photos with everyone.

Cactus Love

Can you find the heart in this cacti? This is a cactus plant that is growing beside my house. My son pointed out the heart to me the other day.

On Pins and Needles

I hurt my foot a few years ago. Basically I fell down some steps and dislocated all the toes on my left foot. It was very painful and because an emergency room doctor told me it was just pulled ligaments it was not treated properly. After two weeks of pain, swelling and a foot that was black and blue I went to a specialist. He informed me it was a LizFranks Dislocation and put me in a boot for six weeks. He said that I would probably have pain for the rest of my life.
Vinson called an acupuncturist a few weeks ago and set up an appointment for me. The picture you see above is from my second visit. So far it is helping. The pain is not completely gone but it is much better. I am now able to sleep at night without having to take Tylenol or Ibuprofen to kill the pain. This is a definite improvement. We will see if it last and if it continues to improve.
