IMAGES OF THE WEEK

I'm not reproducing any of them here, but go check out this slideshow of Hurricane Katrina's arrival in New Orleans -- before, during, and the awful aftermath. It's riveting and haunting -- especially when you get to the one particular object that somehow avoids being crushed by six tumbling trees. That one will make you think a bit.

UPDATE: Well, so much for that -- it seems that the album isn't available anymore at the original link I had, and thus far I can't find a new one, so it may be gone. Too bad, as it was fascinating. If anyone finds it again (you'll know it when you see it, there are almost 200 pictures in it) leave a link here and I'll update again.

Failing that, the uncrushed object is a statue of Jesus in the yard of a church. Six big oak trees fell all around Jesus, and He kept right on standing. Yes, a sheer coincidence of luck, but a spooky one at that.
