A sprawling playground of food. It boggles the mind. I will post more pics after I've rested. Frankly, I'm beat. Truly this is the most super of markets.

It's mostly bullshit
It turns out that most of the horror stories coming out of the Dome and the Convention center during the Katrina disaster were simply not true. In the confusions and chaos rumors started and spread like wildfire, picked up strength and went out of control. I remember hearing these stories, but they did not suprise me. People do fairly horrible things to each other all the time.
I'm glad that it turned out to be a case where things were'nt as bad as reported. Make no mistake, the conditions were horrible. The response was still too slow. FEMA was still being run my a Bush crony. But the stories about people (specifically the urban black poor) of New Orleans regressing into animals weren't true. And that gives me some hope.

Last day
The corset wall of shame. Where crappy corsets are placed for public mockery.
Yesterday rocked. High sales volume. Today we sat on our asses until 2 in the afternoon. Then we managed to pull in sales as a soft rain began to fall. We did not beat last years closing weekend. I wonder how much better we'd be doing if we weren't in a goddamn war and the economy wasn:t a wreck. I am so glad i had Aliki and Heather working with me this year. They helped the idle hours pass quickly and were whirlwinds of action when we were busy. I was so tired and frazzled at the end of the day that I screwed up their pay. We got it straightened out but i hope they dont think I was trying to cheat them. I just literally ran out of thinking process. Tomorrow i pack everything up and head home only to head down to southern Ohio's show tuesday to do 2 'kids days' which is sort of like being kicked in the balls but less fun.
