Well, since I have to throw a blog up to be on the list, I might as well.
I'm currently deployed in Galveston, TX (Writing this blog while parked on the beach where I will be sleeping tonight) with FEMA. I've been deployed for almost a month now, seeing a lot of people who need help. Then again, I see a lot of people who were blessed too.
The first week, I was deployed in Kenner, LA, after Gustav. I spent two nights couchsurfing with a couple girls in the French Quarter, they took me to see a comedy show and gave a bike tour of the city, all the way to Tulane, from their apartment in the French Quarter. Yeehaw. If the seat would have stayed still, it wouldn't have been bad, but it had a tendency to turn upwards and try to rape me. I spent most of the time standing on the pedals, versus sitting on the seat. (DAMN YOU RASTI!!! You make it look easy...) I made a comment to my hostess on our bike tour about how it gave you a lot of perspective riding a bike thats older than you are (1970-ish Schwinn), through a city thats older than your country (1712).
Now, I'm in Galveston, took my first swim in the Gulf today, even though I've been working on the island since the 24th (Between Kenner and Galveston, I was stationed in Houston).
Anyway, can't stay on long, just thought I'd update a little. Take care all!
