View from the Top

Thanks to Katrina, the Cassadys of 626 Second Street have a glorious Gulf of Mexico view. Haven't seen that water in many moons. The first picture is taken at about where the front porch will eventually be. So, until the folks across the way build back we have ourselves a spectacular view.

Hope everyone had a nice Labor Day weekend. Here in Oxford, we quadrupled our population. The Rebels also managed to beat the Memphis Tigers. Fun was had by all. A lot of the time we sat around and remembered where we were at this moment last year.

Last week I mentioned how I attended the St. Peter's By-the-Sea Katrina-Day service a week ago and my trusty photographer e-mailed a couple pics from that event. I chose this one because you can see how wrecked the church is. It's amazing, given the look of the rest of E. Beach, that there's anything left. The organ and pews were spotted on the railroad tracks, a couple blocks north.

The last picture shows the current state of the slab. All full of dirt. Next comes plumbing, I believe, and finally they pour concrete over the top of everything. It's sort of like a huge sand-and-concrete layer cake in a way.

All right. That's it for now. I have to go to Kroger for some dinner-making materials. Adieu, adieu to you and you and you.
