Brief

 This is going to be a brief post, because I've been neglecting my piano to keep the blog updated.  Oh, I've been practicing, but not like I should.  I'm just dropping in to let you know that my hometown was spared the full wrath of Laura. 

Lake Charles, Louisiana took the worst of it, but still, once again Jesus arose and rebuked the wind, and though the damage is great, it's not nearly as bad as it could have been.  I'm not going to post a bunch of photos, because if you want to see them, there are plenty to be found online.  I did want to show you this one.  To me, this is probably the most worrisome.

This is the Isle of Capri riverboat casino, which broke loose from its moorings and struck the Lake Charles Bridge.  They're saying it's stuck there.  The truly worrisome part is, that bridge has already been declared unsound by structural engineers.  We don't even drive over it any more...except when Cody and I are talking about rice dryers and he misses the loop...then you pray the whole way over it, "Please don't collapse today."  

Before I go, just one thing more.  My new mask was a big hit at work. 

I think Stalker was a bit jealous.  Why?  Because today, I had a better beard than he does.  

He he he.
