Flooding

[bmccasland]

Yeah, and I have a warm place in my heart for some CMA (Chrisian Motorcycle Assoc) guys who set up a field kitchen in Chalmette. In the early days after the storm I was working in the area, and when I came back that evening suffering from heat exhaustion, these big burly biker guys brought me in the kitchen, parked me in front of a fan, put a bottle of cold water in one hand, bottle of cold gatorade in the other and made me drink both, gave me a cold cloth for my neck, then told me brownies cured everything and handed me one. Then they offered me hot dinner. Meanwhile I'd been watching shell shocked firefighters from all over come through their line, enjoying their first hot fresh meal in days instead of MREs. The CMA guys didn't ask permission (FEMA or Red Cross) other than the local sheriff - they just moved in. Once the Red Cross found out about the kitchen, they restocked it. They weren't pushy about a message, had little pocket sized Bibles on the buffet line, they were living their faith.
