- If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself but to your own estimate of it; and this you have the power to revoke at any moment.
Marcus Aurelius Antoninus
Roman Emperor, A.D. 161-180 (121 AD - 180 AD)
Today marked the end of one era, and the beginning of another. The Era of Katrina is finally over - or is it?
On Monday, August 29, 2005, a hurricane named Katrina wiped out most of the Mississippi Gulf Coast, from Pearlington to Pascagoula. It devastated two bridges - the St. Louis Bay and Biloxi Bay - and disconnected community from community. For two whole years that has been the case - until today.
At 5:00 P.M. CDT, a parade of first responders, motorcycles and antique cars became the first people to drive over the newly constructed Biloxi Bay Bridge, connecting Ocean Springs with Biloxi. The day was filled with numerous festivities. Unfortunately, I didn’t get to attend any of them. Tomorrow after work I may drive over to Ocean Springs and snap a few pictures.
