New Orleans, Late February, 2007

2007-12-21 John Winkelman

I just uploaded 88 photos from a trip my brother, his fiance and I took to New Orleans back in February of this year. Our first day there Dad (who lives just north of Lake Pontchartrain), took us on a tour of the parts of the city which were destroyed by Hurricane Katrina. Or damaged by the hurricane and destroyed by the incompetence of elected officials all the way up and down the chain of command. I guess how you look at it depends on how forgiving you are feeling at any given moment.

Note that these photos were taken eighteen months after the hurricane hit. For those of my readers who are familiar with Grand Rapids, Michigan, imagine Kentwood with an eight foot high-water mark on every house.

Mardi Gras itself was beautiful, and fun, and something I recommend everyone experience at least once in their lifetime.

She called me a prima-donna when I asked for a raise.

Funny old world, innit?

Why Work is Frustrating

Our understanding of problems evolves faster than the tools we use to solve them.

It being a cold, rainy, rotten day, I spent the past hour or so sorting and uploading about 175 photos from a vacation my brother, my mother and I took to Alaska, back in 2003. Click on the above photo to see the thing.
