Ian and I went on an epic survey showdown today tackling everything east of Oak and then the random assorted lots where volunteers feared to tread (or forgot about). Most of it we could do without doing too much walking because of the complete devastation that occurred in the areas we were investigating. Regardless 8 hours, 90 miles, two gas station stops and Shrimp Po-Boy from the Biloxi Schooner later we completed our mission. Sam, who is thinking of working with trailers in some way, shape, or form charged us with a side job of documenting interesting tack-on structures to the FEMA trailers we saw, these are the results along with a couple pictures of a semi-trailer parking a Katrina Cottage over on Crawford Street.

The Cottage arrives

And the truck goes *boop* *boop* *boop* for about 10 minutes while backing up

Anyhow, that's the whole shebang. Hope you enjoy, but before we go... one more reminder of how much water was actually covering the peninsula:

Funky Music Video of the Day: Bat for Lashes- "What's A Girl To Do?"
I totally dig the song and the video is so goofy that I had to share it. I've been tracking down more work by Bat for Lashes and I have to say that I've really enjoyed it. I feel like it's a really cool mash-up of Cat Power, the mid-90's piano ladies, my pysch-folk fave (thanks to Ruth) Joanna Newsom, and maybe a dash of Bjork.
