i am having major problems with my ISP
yesterday i wasnt able to get online at all
everyday everywhere we are given the same mantra
BE PATIENT
there are lines for everything
even to get INTO places like Walmart
only so many in at a time
this was bad before, when the parish was closed
as of friday, everyone that has utilities and can be self sufficient is allowed back in
omg
the traffic on the streets is unreal
and many signal lights are still inoperable
disaster food stamps and omfg the f'ing red cross are opening offices
thos lines are worse than the post office
i just dont understand why the post office is still not delivering mail
the newspaper re-started home delivery 2 days ago(blessed are they!)
garbage pickup began again this past thursday--yayayay--we were having to bring it to drop off locations
i just got a phone call from the army corps of engineers; they are trying to find my house and wull be here within the hour
i signed up for the blue roof program
they will put a more permanent blue tarp on my roof that will last until i can get repairs done
this program is free believe it or not
i think i had mentioned before that becky from next door(arent lesbians great) had put up one i had bought from the homo depot, but the wind is taking it away

earlier i had stated that there was no news about rita online
when i said that i meant on major news websites like cnn
a google of rita news did provide some news stories
Google Search: Hurricane Rita

Google Search: Hurricane Rita
i wish i were one of those people that would describe all of this as an adventure
although each day brings discernible improvement, life is still difficult
more for some than others
all of my utilities are now working, and city water is now safe to drink
there is still a burn ban parishwide
the curfew is still 7 pm til 6 am for pedestrians, but vehicles are now exempt
you may still be subject to being stopped and questioned
fines for breaking curfew are $500 and/or 6 months in jail
looting was never as bad as in new orleans but of course no community is bereft of crime
signal lights began coming on as the flow of electricity spread, although many are broken or missing and still need repair and replacing
many businesses are starting to reopen
gas lines are shorter as more stations open
the first days after rita had people waiting in line for 4 hours for gas
we no longer have to wait in line to entire the stores that are open--only a few were admitted at a time
there are still trees down everywhere, but main streets are clear and most streets are passable in at least one lane
persons in need of phone line repair are being told by bellsouth it will be november before their service is restored
we are still waiting for the red cross--this is a BIG complaint in the area
all the money we raised here for katrina---where is the help for our area
and why isnt there anything on the national news about our plight?
and cameron parish, our sister parish to our south that is on the coast is destroyed beyond all recognition, yet i see nothing online or on tv
eastern texas was also kicked in the groin
beaumont, port arthur, orange, to name a few cities there
nothing in the media
perhaps there was before i regained power, but the news is only about katrina
we dont even get a 15 second blurb
whine whine whine
anyway had to get that out of my system
yesterday i finished clearing my yard of debris
it is amazing how much was in my backyard
no word yet from fema inspectors or insurance claim adjustors, but i would hazard a guess that they are visiting those that have complete losses and major damage first
