An Update From Murphy of Lagniappe's Lair

Murph of Lagniappe's Lair  just called.

He has no power or internet connection so don't expect much in the way of posts on his blog for awhile.

He's doing all right and has running water, food, and hot showers.

He and the dogs are doing all right and they're sitting tight. 

No flooding on his street, just a lot of wind damage to power lines etc, and it's going to take a long time to get power back up in New Orleans.

Last Morning In The Big Easy

Operation Move Murph N Mutts is coming to a close. Basics are unpacked, Stuff that needs to be secure is secure and the dogs are settling into their new home.

Before I departed I had to go to Cafe Du Monde for some beignets and coffee.

They were rather good indeed.

Then we went to the river and I took a couple obligatory tourist pics.

Then I walked with Murph to his new job, wished him luck, and then I went to the airport shuttle pickup point and I'm heading to the airport now. 

This was quite the journey. Thousands of miles and thousands of pounds loaded and unloaded. Looking forward to getting home.

Operation MMNM: New Home, Old Tricks

Time from arrival last night to first Belle escape from the backyard: 35 seconds. 

Time this morning from release to the yard to Murphy escaping and chasing a chicken (yes there apparently are chickens running around loose in New Orleans): 10 seconds.

 Little flaw in the yard fence enclosure plan- pathway from yard under house to open world is wide open. Belle found that and ran under the house to the front where I was unloading in record time. That will need to be fixed right quick.

Departing NC Off To NOLA

A great night with a most gracious host.

Keads made us feel very welcome and put on quite the spread for us.

Now we're about to head out.

Keads helping add air to the trailer tires, as they surely need some.

We're all loaded up and ready to head out. New Orleans here we come and the chance of Murph having yet another tantrum in traffic is assured.
