Making the best...
If any of you have yet to check out videos and photos of the destruction that Katarina caused in New Orleans, you really should. For those of you that have, you know what I mean...
That level of devastation will take years and years to fully recover from...it really is something out of a movie. All the major bridges and tunnels and highways in the city are either in terrible shape, or in some cases "completely gone". Could you imagine just waking up the Queensway in Ottawa, or the DVP/401 in Toronto were just...gone? They expect power will take as much as 6 weeks to restore...but really, just think about it...how do you possibly rebuild a city like that?
Anyways, what really strikes me is the human nature to make the best of any situation. I've read countless articles about people looking for the positives out of this situation, and this guy is no different.
Come on, click on it. You know you want to. Its nothing vile or rude. I promise...no, really, you have my word.
What I love most about this picture isn't the fact that he's stealing beer...but that he's got a tupperware bin FULL of the stuff, but that wasn't enough. The fact that he's got one extra bottle jammed in his back pocket is what puts this picture over the top.
