Hello to the You All Gang

I have been home one week from the hospital and it has been a good week. I get an IV each day but Anita handles it easily since the medical technology has made it easy to do at home. I am getting better each day and the bugs are being stamped out. It will be slow but it is happening.

I do church tomorrow and that will be fine with me. It has been so hot, humid, muggy and oily that I have heard that Satan has left the state. I sometimes wonder what else can happen to Louisiana. Once again, the government turns out to be a problem even bigger than the oil spill since they do so many senseless things to hurt. Like shutting down all off shore drilling and further choking the state. Big layoffs are occurring in a spreading ring of financial shutdowns. The companies that supply the industry are now being shut down because of the six-month penalty. Just like an uninformed leader to do even more damage to the state and other gulf states while they bicker and further strangle the state.

I heard an atheist say that God must be after us because even the government is wounding the area. It gives real meaning to the claim that we are from the government and government is here to help you. Down here that is like telling us that they are rounding up a firing squad to put us out of our misery. The president made a hasty not well thought out decision and still won’t reconsider even when shown what it is doing to the oil states and punishing those doing a good job. I feel for those hearty Cajuns who are now getting clobbered by oil and by government. To hear them interviewed on the radio is really sad. Their lives are coming apart right in front of them and they are powerless to stop it from happening. They have to ask the president to help them and so far that has been not listened to; it is really sad what is happening.

It is now almost summer here in Louisiana. We now are the state of heat, humidity hurricanes, oil spills, and dumb presidential oil decisions. The heat has really been tough with very high heat index and people are staying in to avoid the unpleasant temperatures. Hope you are doing well where you are. I have to finish off this little email and get cracking on some other things to do before I declare myself ready for tomorrow.

Keep Louisiana in our prayers because it looks like God would even have a hard time helping with all the crazy decisions floating around down here. But the state government has done much better this time. And Ray Nagging is in Dallas, so that is very helpful. Stay cool and out of the heat. Hope to hear from you soon.
