Cruisin’ the Coast 2006

A cherished tradition returned to the Gulf Coast after missing last year because of Katrina. This was the 10th annual Cruisin’ The Coast and the first one in several years that had perfect weather! Classic cars were rumbling all over the coast which is always a treat because you get to see cars that you hardly ever see anymore. This year’s event seemed to be just about perfect, from the weather to the venues, to the entertainment and of course the cool rides! Although the coast has been undeniably changed from Hurricane Katrina, in most cases you wouldn’t have known it. I took some photos from the events in Ocean Springs. Ocean Springs is one of my favorite “sleepy-little” towns and it was a perfect location to spot some killer cars and enjoy the wonderful atmosphere. This is truly the Coast at its finest.

Autumn falls upon us

Autumn is all about change; changes in season, changes in state, changes in mind. I love Autumn more than any other time of the year although I am often the worst about changing. I am looking forward to the cooler weather, the colorful foliage, football, more golfing, and of course the holidays.

It has been an extremely hectic year and I hope that as 2006 comes to an end my life make some changes for the good. I am going to try and put some of the negative items in my life behind me and move forward again. I yearn for trying some new things so that is what I am going to do. I am going to let my leaves fall and get ready for the next season in my life.

Post-Katrina – one year later

The worst part about the rebuilding process is that there is so much uncertainty. Uncertainty in jobs, real estate, traffic and restaurants; yes restaurants. I like to eat. I enjoy meals more than most much to my chagrin and my waistline actually, but the restaurant situation on the Gulf Coast has been in dire shape and does not really appear to be getting much better.

We’ve tried just about establishment on the coast and there are a very few places that are worth going to. This is especially true of Mexican food. We have several Mexican restaurants here and they’re all horrible, every single one of them. With the supposed influx of illegal immigrants to the Gulf Coast, you would think that they would be bringing better, more authentic food with them, no? Quick, somebody airlift a bunch of Chimichangas in before I lose my will to continue!
