Well... I thought it would all slow down after Ike passed by us.

But the work is still high with expectations. M called tonight, had to go out and see the citizens at 845 pm. The mosquito problem is still with us... so the spraying was going on tonight, was down in some of the lower eco sections of town. M wanted me to knock on a few doors tonight to reassure the folks down in those areas we are doing our best.

So, I did...walked the streets, saw the populli and reassured folks, the mosquito truck was right behind me ... pumping out the smoke.

Hopefully we will have a lil cooler weather and things will slow down.... and the election for city council will be here on Saturday..and after that..let's hope things will go our way...but I have a somewhat not so good feeling.

ah...the fun of the political adventure..

Gustav left and the water came.

Ike just tagged us a lil bit.

All in all we faired a hell of a lot better than my dear friends to the south east .towards BR and to the southwest towards H Town.

I think po' Timmy is still digging out and just now starting back to a some sort of a semi semi regular routine..well maybe.

The above two photos were shot today down at my favorite landing, where I kayak at.

When I drove up there, I could smell the stench of rotting fish, then I notice that lil fellow sunning his self on the over turned boat...he must have just finished lunch on some sac a lit..in other worlds known as white perch.

They were starting to rot my the thousands...

The second photo was taken by swinging the camera just to the left of that happy lil gator. The roof in the left hand back ground shows how high the water still is, its the top of a boat dock...must be at less eight feet to the ground at the edge of the roof line, but you can only see the top of the roof.

I gather up myself, and headed out..had to come home and deal with the new truck and the stench on inside wheel basins.

Hopefully this Hurricane Season is finished for us..please please please.


Also, tomorrow will be my first day off from the Director's position since August 28. Between Hurricane Gustav and Ike, with all of our flooding issues... I am heading to kayak on Sunday... first Sunday in a long time.

Th

hmmm.... Ike is coming on...but he is heading more to Texas.

not that I wish any bad on anyone

so, Ikey is out there....and we will share some of his fury..for sure..unless he veers off his course and goes toward Mexico.

I know some of you have not asked what I have been doing in the past several days....

So here it is......got started with cleaning out the channels of the City.way before Gustav became a man

then here is the aftermath of the flood

so you do the right thing ...but shit happens !!
