Tails of Triumph

[Catherine]

I don't think you or I would have left our pets even for an hour.

When we had a winter power failure I stayed home with my pets. When it got too cold I moved us all to somewhere with heat. I never considered seeking somewhere comfortable for myself. I had to catch reptiles by candlelight in the cold and then move them. I never considered any other option.
Now I have worked out a way to stay warm I would stay with them.

I think Katrina was completely underestimated. They had no idea of the force behind a hurricane and they had no idea of what a storm surge can do.

People did the best they could, but Katrina showed the whole country how unready they were for a natural disaster of such magnitude.

Next week when I have time I will look for the book. This weekend I am working my local street festival. The reptile centre will be out there with reptiles teaching people and letting them hold them. I will be taking some of my own snakes. They enjoyed it last year. They really liked all the people. It is keeping me busy to get them ready. I have travel containers for them and I want to label them even though I won't let them out of my sight.
