well, summer in new Orleans, what can you say. nobody has money and the tempers rise with the heat. our coffee shop was robbed by a very agitated man with a big gun about 5:30 this morning. he got about $550, but man are we lucky! no one was hurt, and given that the murder rate is about one person per day, i am sooo thankful. last year in June they had a block party in the neighborhood that starts two blocks from my house because it was the first day that year that no one had been shot in that neighborhood (IN JUNE! in that one neighborhood!)
take some time to enjoy being alive today!
