I'll cogitate on Geauxfers today (first hits: Geauxfer Grrl, Geauxfer Dat, Geauxfer Broke - just kidding on that one) and let you know if any other inspiration strikes.

Because, you know, it just sounded a little *too promising*, if you know what I mean. just going to brainstorm some names for you right here in the comments… haven’t thought through them, just going to type without censoring:

As I travel for the farmers market, I get asked (well less and less) about New Orleans, I want to say a strong FINE but find myself shrugging and saying little. I think we faced a lot of old problems with this disaster, but some are so big we left them alone for fixing another time. Of course, having a fucked up mayor and dumber than dirt Council after K did not help. Maybe we lost a couple of years of activity with that asshole being in charge. As for my own life, I agree with the loneliness-Rebecca Solnit writes about the exuberance after disasters in her book "Paradise Built From Hell" which then means that when the original energy passes, it can be tough. and I recommend you read it (I have an extra copy if you'd like to borrow). The overwhelming work we had to do and still have to do to rebuild even the old messed up version is tremendous and you get tired of talking about it, so you just stop going out to talk about it. And the emotional baggage like Kiki talks about is still with us, yes. Add to that the amount of new people who are trying to build new stuff, much of which is good, but sometimes with little regard for the quality of life and old stuff that we want to try to regain and even more distance is created between. Cuz when you try to spend all of the money on infrastructure, people can get left out. Where is the help for artists, or farmers or fishers or backyard mechanics? Does every project HAVE to be about a new building or a new non-profit? So, I think it is a decade-long process for us to emerge from the initial mess and so that means we are only halfway through. And if you can, see it as a positive that we are all here and smiling. As we move forward, we'll heal more and more. Dar Mags,
