Sweltering Here, But We Work On

Its already well into the 80s and very humid here today, so it looks like we will have a more authentic Louisiana summer day today. We took the opportunity to get about an extra hour of sleep, as we didn't get back from being in downtown NOLA last night until well past 10 pm. The fireworks were good, the food was terrific, and thanks to some light rain earlier in the day that cleared out, it was actually a pretty pleasant evening to stroll around. We started our Fourth of July recreation time with the entire group going to the IMAX Theatre on the NOLA Riverwalk, where we saw "Hurricane On The Bayou", a very well done documentary about how the Mississippi River delta wetlands are supposed to be a buffer when hurricanes land, but those wetlands are just a fraction of what they used to be thanks to man-made things changing how the wetlands replenish. That IMAX film is currently showing at the Cosmosphere in Hutchinson.

If you go to the photos link you can see many more pictures - I've added about another 150 this morning. Above are a few photos from one of the worksites. More to come!
