Election Night Buzz

It's an exciting day. I can't imagine being in a more red state with my blue liberal politics. Mississippi. I have moved on from the build in Louisianna. We finished up over the course of the week, it looks like a house. Kind of cool. Had a nice dinner and said farewell to the work crew.

Aunt Jo came to visit for a weekend in Louisiana and got to hammer some nails in. We went to the Voodoo Experience, which was really just a music festival and saw Lil' Wayne. That was an experience for sure. We had good coffee, went to Bourbon Street for a quick walk. It was a short visit but good to spend some time with my Aunt Johanna.

Well Obama is in the lead at the moment but I am not counting my chickens until I hear them clucking. Mississippi, shockingly, went McCain. I am out near Biloxi in Ocean Springs doing a week of Habitat here.

Spent the weekend near New Orleans at Bayou Segnette State Park. Liz came to visit and we had adventures galore. Saw aligators and snakes, drunk people and interesting costumes on Bourbon Street on Halloween. Definitely an interesting place to spend that holiday.

It was time to move on after 2 weeks there. Some interesting social issues that the experience brought to my attention. That is a bit too much to blog at this point but the epiphany I've been searching for came but I can tell you it was a different experience that I was expecting.

Gots to run.

Cheers,
Kelly
