My workplace in New Orleans was destroyed by Katrina, but we're rebuilding. Except for construction workers (wearing protective gear) which our company hired, none of us on the staff are allowed to be in there even at this point months later, so I'm working from my home, making graphics. I drove around the place today as well as other parts of the city. It's like a bomb went off there -- and a ghost town compared to before. When we came back home after evacuating to Texas, I was sure my palm trees were not going to be there -- but thankfully they were just fine and our house only had some very small damage. The Polynesian-style foliage we had planted, however, needs TLC. We're very thankful that we were among the lucky ones but I'm wondering when I'll be able to get back to work.

Anyway, this place helps get my mind in a better frame of mind and helps me remember my Tiki vacations.

I'm glad to have found this board.
