"In City of Melted Clocks, Scribes Paint Dali Scenes"
A Times-Picayune columnist - Chris ROSE - talks about life today in New Orleans for him and his colleagues. He writes:
"We have a generator and water and military C-rations and Doritos and smokes and booze. After deadline, the call goes out: "Anyone for some warm brown liquor?" and we sit on the porch in the very, very still of the night and we try to laugh.
Some of these guys lost their houses -- everything in them. But they're here, telling our city's story.
And they stink. We all stink. We stink together.
We have a bunch of guns but it's not clear to me if anyone in this "news bureau" knows how to use them."
