changes
man, everytime i come home, i am just amazed at all the changes that have taken place...
the street i live off of has completely been developed --- lot's of stores... movie theater, fast food resteraunts etc... none of which were there when i grew up here... all the woods are disappearing and the construction continues...
my neighborhood is double the size it used to be... the first high school i attended has been demolished and it's just a field now... i believe they are going to construct something in it's place (not sure what it's going to be)....
is this a sign of getting old? does everyone see these kind of things when they get beyond 30?
man... it's just so strange... the city i grew up in no longer exists...

That sounds strange. And sad. I guess that's what happens in the suburbs. I've seen changes in New Orleans over the years, but not as dramatic, since the woods and swamp were gotten rid of years ago. Think of EBR as the slow version of China.
The question I have - have the squirrels stuck around?
ha ha ha... you know, the one thing i would have liked to have been gone is still around...
tons of squirrels... our neighbor has befriended them all... and my dad has cd's hanging on trees and scarecrows all over the gardens to keep them out... the good thin is, they don't jump on our heads anymore... Mr. Bob has somehow trained them to stay clear of us, yet still hang around...
he's also started training possums to come by... pretty scary site...
Roya,
Which high school did you attend? It wasn't Weedlawn High, was it?

By the way Roya,
I was in Atlanta for the rug show this week. I could see the CNN building from my hotel room. Thought a lot about you. Wish we could have spent some time together, got a tour, caught up. Next time.
