Here is a picture of my most recent fishing trip in Reggio in St. Bernard Parish. Located about twenty miles from downtown Louisiana. We had to fight a strong East wind that was pushing up the tides. I think about two feet above normal. The fish are in the marsh thanks to the recent storms. I am afraid a lot of damage was done to the coastline once again. Enjoy the picture.

I know how everyone loves to bitch about the insurance companies denying claims. I have another twist here for you. When I came back home after hurricane Gustav we were without electricity for over a day. Rather than take a chance I threw out all the food in my freezer and refrigerator. I didn't have all that much in there since it was storm season. Past experiences taught me this. Anyway my mom informed me of something I had missed. None of the supermarkets in the area had any sales. They knew almost everyone would have to restock their food supply and therefore didn't give the consumers any breaks. So you see it isn't just the insurance companies it's many industries. Kick em when they are down.

Property owners in St. Tammany parish will have from Oct2-Oct16 to review their assessments and appeal them in writing to either the Slidell or Covington office. These dates were changed because of hurricane Gustav. Here is a link to access the website and view your taxes for the upcoming year.

Despite the recent decrease in property values across the parish many properties have appraised much higher than they were four years ago. If you need help contact me at your pleasure.

I wanted to show my friends what Gustav thought of my utility shed. I am two for two on these things. Katrina ate the first one and Gustav got this one.

I really didn't like it very much. Hit my head on it all the time. Here are some photos of my dads home who lives on Carr Drive in Slidell Louisiana near Lake Pontchartrain. This home had water underneath for Katrina but was high and dry inside.
