Pictures from Lifestyle of Wandering: Reflections of a Wanderer
Well here we are… Houston, after what seems like three weeks. We are here. Jed just cussed out a lady on the phone at PaRR, right now I am more than a little concerned that she is going to cause us more trouble. Yes she was being unreasonable, but Jed needs to learn to keep […]
Troy here…This morning found us… sleeping, imagine that. Casey our host said she had to bike uptown to meet with someone about buying her car, and she wanted to know if we wanted to bike with her. They have a pile of bikes on there back porch for couch surfers to use. Of course we […]
Trying to make time for a quick update. Here are a few more Houma pictures: The water was rising while I was in this area… You can see the water line in this house where the water was receding by the time I came through here. The water was up into this home before going […]
This is Troy. Well it started off as a pretty straight forward morning. Waking up in the Explorer… trying to stretch and get the kinks out of my neck, then realizing that I’m 6’1″ and the Explorer is a foot and a half narrower than I am tall. Then you begin to notice the rain. […]

On my way to my first appointment this morning I heard the Tornado Warning on the radio, and there was already localized flooding and small scale power outages in our area. 18:00 Here are a couple pics fron Metairie, […]
9/10/08 I’m sitting in Pearl River, LA at Pearl City Seafood (64207 Hwy 41, Pearl River, LA 70452) eating Crawfish Etoutfee. It is really good. When I pulled in I thought this was a restaurant, but it’s just a store. BUT, the lady was so sweet…she pulled out a folding chair and pulled over their […]
I’m sure everyone’s been wondering when I was going to post about my current deployment to New Orleans in response to Hurricane Gustav. It’s going to have to be in bits and pieces, but here it is. Those who know me know that I “moonlight” occasionally as a Disaster Housing Inspector contracted to FEMA through […]
