Comments

 
My home state of Louisiana has suffered a tremendous blow from the flooding of August 2016.  While this has not been reported on as much as we would like, it is now finally a generally known fact across the country.  So it was a nice touch today when a vendor called me today and instead of immediately delving into her sales pitch, took the time to note that she knew I was in Louisiana and hoped that all was OK and asked if I had been personally impacted.
