The Devistations of Hurricane Gustav

Thought you all might enjoy this inspiring story...

Hurricane Gustav that hit New Orleans left some serious devastation in its path as it tore through the Gulf Coast and slammed into Louisiana early last week.

While the nation was grateful that the levees held this time around and that the devastating flooding that occurred last year did not repeat again this year, there were still many families hurt by the tragedy.

Out of that tragedy however came this remarkable story of perseverance...

The Oneal family returned home Monday to find that Gustav had turned their house upside down, and repositioned it a few hundred feet from it's original foundation, but otherwise had left it pretty much intact.

They were even still able to enter house through the upstairs doorway that led from the loft to an upstairs balcony. Most of the furniture was still inside and all of the fixtures were still in place and unharmed.

The Oneal family plans to continue living in the home for as long as they can or until authorities force them to leave.

No... that is not true... I'm lying.

Actually this is a full sized house that was built upside down over in Germany... why? Just because it hadn't been done before I guess. Pretty crazy though.

Everything inside this home is upside down too... fixtures... furniture... appliances... lights... everything.

Take a look at these additional pictures pretty ridiculous.

Anyway, thought I'd have a little fun with it.

I think any one who has maintained a blog for more than a week can identify with this little comic strip. Thought you'd enjoy.

I am having fun as a blogger, but I must admit, it can be a bit overwhelming at times trying to update the ol' blog, even on a semi-daily basis, much less a daily basis. I strive to provide my readers with a perpetual flow of fun and interesting new information, each time they visit my site, but unfortunately some days it is hard to come up with anything "blog-worthy" to talk about.

The only thing worse than having a stale blog is making posts to a blog which only serve to bore your readers into a coma. I hope none of my previous posts are guilty of that.

I read an article in the newspaper the other day that the stress of blogging is actually hurting peoples health and in some extreme cases has led to massive heart attacks. That is just ridiculous if you ask me. Blogging is supposed to be fun, not a tempest chore. If it ain't fun stop doing it. I don't want to lose any of my close friends into the blogger black hole!

Anyway, I guess my parting advice is to always keep a vigilant eye out for the unusual, but most importantly, lighten up, have fun and stop stressin'

Blog on fellow bloggers... blog on!
