Cafe Du Monde in New Orleans on a trip we made with my mother-in-law in April 2003

From happier times in New Orleans, Louisiana. This photo was taken while we waited in line at Cafe Du Monde in the French Quarter. Spared by Hurricane Katrina for the most part, on Monday, the levees started to fail, bringing devastating flooding to the city. New Orleans is now being evacuated, which should have happened when they knew a category five hurricane was headed straight for the city. To rid the area of people now, the authorities will have to deal with looters who robbed drug stores and gun shops. Law enforcement will be met by angry, wet dudes overdosing on birth control pills and valium, toting Rambo-style weaponry, ready to defend the ding dongs they stole while looting the convenience stores. The photo is from April 19, 2003, when Jutta was with us for another road trip.
