Strike Teams:::::::::::

DMORT has strike teams that go out to recover bodiies from any source. So, from washed away cemetaries, storm deaths etc. Frequently these bodies are in very rugged places both rural and urban. The Guy in the Green top is a DMORT person, they wear paramilitary uniforms and are very distinctive... the guys in black are Federal Police.. note the ratio.. and how attentive they are.. and how armed they are. All the strike teams went with armed escorts it seems. I did not take this picture rather one of the strike team members did. There are still strike teams out in the field today, rescuing washed away coffins, and retrieving bodies from locations they are identified. There is still a trickle of bodies as they re-open more and more of New Orleans and find victims in the houses.

Life is fun here, quick switch of gears. This is just the best job. I would wish everyone could have the opportunity to get involved and try to help in an effort like this. the JFO is doing a toys for tots campaign and you should see the mountain of toys that has accumulated for delivery to kids, it is very impressive.

Back to 50 today, this last cold spell almost took the leaves off the tree. I recommend a winter here ... it is very relaxing.
