What I Learned in New Orleans
-
Every minute given to you is a gift.
-
Simple gratitude is a gift powerful enough to overcome any
adversity.
Gifts for which I am grateful:
Being alive
Being alive and vertical
Being alive and vertical and strong
Clean drinking water
Electricity
PortaPotties --
big gift
Flush toilets -- Huge Gift
People who work tirelessly without complaint
People who will risk their life for you.
What Delta Learned in
New Orleans
-
A Chinook helicopter hovering overhead means the tent
will soon blow away – crouch low in your crate and hang on!
-
I do not produce Astro poop or Astro pee -- the real
grass is outside.
-
When another dog barks while everyone is sleeping,
you must lay perfectly still with your eyes closed. If you can,
snore softly. They kill dogs who bark while everyone’s sleeping.
-
The back seat of a crew cab is comfortable, but you
can catch big air in the back seat of a van.
-
I will agree to sleep on the van floor only if I get
part of your MRE.
-
I’d rather work than sit.
-
Toto was right “there’s no place like home.”
