We Shall All Rise Again and Again: CYCLE




More quality time on the Coastline of Mississippi. The Trail of the Wrath of Katrina. These are a resilient people, loyal as all get out to their space in this land. Returning against doubt and despair, pulling through the mire of the remnants by whoever is left, and volunteers, mostly of the Christian variety. FEMA is the new devil of today. Highlights here include Ola and David Baker, pictured above at their stand in the farmer's market. Married for 66 years, they are both 88 and he played his harmonica for me. I have seen 18 Lynard Skynard shirts in two days, eaten at a chicken drive thru called Raising Cain, bought liquor from a store where they make their own bags out of newspaper and wear sunglasses at night behind the counter, and bowled next to church youth groups and bikers.
