And you know how I feel about it. Today hasn't been so bad, though. Hot, certainly, but not bad. My face nearly melted off in the car yesterday on the way to Target. Enough about me, though. What you all want to know about is la casa de Cassady. I have a couple recent pictures, and also some "before" scenes. The befores are all before the tear down, but after the storm. I'm working on getting some before-the-storm images, but all the pics are down in Gulfport, so that may take a while. My favorite before image is the one with the car in it. Billy Barrett--a friend, neighbor, town celebrity--said that the car looked like "a wadded-up ball of duct tape." And you know, come to think of it, that's the most accurate description I've heard.
Here are some new pictures of the lot and the trenches. Nothing major to report. I hear that some cement-pouring is going on this week, maybe as I type this. That should be good for snapshots. This one is interesting because it shows the Wetzels' house on the beach. That big brick house was more or less the only structure left on all of East Beach Boulevard in the entire city of Gulfport (not counting the condominiums on the east side of town). Its first floor was completely destroyed, however, and lots of the bricks were deposited in my parents' bedroom.
That's about it for today. Hopefully we'll get more pictures this evening.
Good night, and good luck.
