a friend of mine is still waiting to hear from his father.
re: cultural conditioning- i’ve had ‘when the levee breaks’ on repeat in my head for a few days, but about an hour ago broke down sobbing when ‘mother and child reunion’ was on. i’ve also been listening to acadie by daniel lanois, on repeat, for more catharsis.
when i posted about the original levee break, i was amazed to see news headlines saying nola had escaped, since they were so premature. the pumps can remove half an inch an hour when they are all operating at full power, and even with the original break, three to four feet of water would take half a week of pumping. even without the additional breaches.
i’ve occasionally joked that i was born in atlantis, since new orleans is below sea level, but it cold not be less funny now. |
