The only thing on my mind for the past almost 4 weeks has been the destruction in Biloxi from Katrina. It's really a shame that the southern look of Biloxi will be forever gone, I was sad when the city allowed the casinos come in and take away the coastline of the old canneries. Now, they are considering letting the casinos open on both sides of the highway, not just the coastal side. Opens up the use of Eminent Domain where if someone wants to keep their property and rebuild, the city can force them to sell out. Who were the idiots that passed that law??? I think we should put putt putt golf courses where their houses are,but, I fully understand that this will allow the people of Biloxi and Gulfport to put their lives back together. I am attaching a link to The Eye of Katrina blogsite that two guys in Biloxi (Mike Keller and Josh Norman) put together that kept me breathing for the 3 days that I didn't hear from my brother and his wife. These guys holed up somewhere and would venture out and take pictures of the devastation and go back and post them on their blog. I know they didn't sleep for at least 3 days and nights, cause I was watching their blog constantly. They work for the Herald Newspaper in Biloxi, but went above and beyond the call of duty. There should be a special award for these two. I will be forever grateful.
