Getting on to another topic of summer activities, this is a shot of me sleeping on the living room floor of Colin's apartment in New Orleans. We drove straight through from Brooklyn to New Orleans, leaving Jonica's place at about 1:00 PM Sunday, and getting to New Orleans around 10:00 AM on Monday. They were just putting the finishing touches on the apartment, which is a cement block building at the back of a traditional two family shotgun house. The levee and the river are about 100 yards away. We got some bedding out of Colin's storage room at U-Haul, and I crashed for several hours. Colin says that this place was not flooded, but he cannot get back to it because the city is closed, and he arrived in Brooklyn this morning, staying again at Jonica's place. He is homeless and clothingless at this point, but not really in such bad shape compared to many.
