d - day

departure day. ready to go for the most part, just need to pack a duffel and head out.

planning to travel light, as i have no idea what i will find for housing. have been told to expect anything; from sleeping in the car, to cot at the church shelter, to hotel rooms..... depends on who you ask.
i am packing a sleeping bag and a credit card. hope to use the latter.

is this a good idea? should i be asking myself such a question at this time?
four days ago i had a reasonable steady (boring) salaried position with a reasonably secure (my soul is dying) service company.

>> story -

guy is stranded at home, the flood waters are rising.
a truck comes by, and he politely refuses help. 'my god will save me', he tells them.
the waters rise
a boat comes by, and he calls from the upstairs window- 'my god will save me'.
the waters rise
'my god will save me', he yells to the helicopter rescue team when the attempt to pull him from the small patch of rooftop left.....
a short time later, when the man meets god, he asks him.....why did you not save me?

--to which god replies: i sent you a truck, a boat, a helicopter.....???


so if salvation from boredom and the soul-killing death that i was suffering comes in the form of a ticket to louisiana...... then i have my friend tim to thank for the call, and my wife nicole for letting me take it.

--and of course, the god who sent them.

first post...

headed to louisiana to do a little work with FEMA, and thought this would be a good way to keep folks updated.... i will likely post photos, and may or may not update daily.
