Razor Wire
I think that, at this point, they've recovered everything they think is worth the effort of salvaging. The have a lot of work to do trying to clean up the items they've recovered, much of it heavily caked in dried mud. It remains to be seen how much of it will be worth saving underneath the mud.We are back in Brandon, bathed, and about ready for bed. We had a very successful day despite a ruined tire and the only one to fit at Big 10 in Hattiesburg was very expensive, but then everything about my Buick is expensive. While Dad got the tire in Hattiesburg I rode on to coast with Bill II and Danny so we could get started. We tried to go in at Lewis Ave. but had to go back about 5 crossings toward Gulfport, but were let across there with no trouble. When Dad got there he had come in from Canal Road and Long Beach has different rules, so he had to go to Choice Grocery Parking Lot and get a pass and when we left he had to go turn in the pass to get his driver's license back. They are unfurling double fences of razor wire just north of the tracks from one end of coast to other, with only certain crossings open for us to go in and out. Attempt to keep looters out. You can read about it at SunHerald.com. Dad did discover that three big boxes of tools he had in the garage are not there. They were just inside the door, which is beaten, battered, and partly open. He says they were too heavy to have floated. I'm not sure. But we did find more "special" stuff that we brought out. Don't even know what some of it is -- like a box that says Senior Year that was high in your closet. Your high school year books should be OK over in the ministorage.
