"Monday Morning Quarterbacks..."

Monday Morning Quarterbacks: The recovery phase after hurricane Katrina is beginning to take shape. It takes time.

We experienced four hurricanes in a six week period last year here in Florida. There were some who refused to evacuate. Some who had their first and last HURRICANE PARTY. Like some in NO, you can't arrest them all, even for their own good.

We had Monday morning quarterbacks, hind sight is 20/20 as they say. I am reminded of those who ask,"how much did the dealer give you for your trade-in?"After you tell them, they exclaim,"I would have given you a $1000 more, if you had told me you were going to sell!" Fortunately there are more people who pitch in to help their neighbor, than those who try to tear down those that are helping.

There are miracles, as this (article) shows, along with the terrible acts of evil people. Emily Smithy and Nick Parker are in New Orleans, and file this report: "Miracle in the Misery", Online Sun.
