All Good News, All The Time

Posted by: David Bunch

I'm making a commitment to only talk about good aftermath news here at The Bench Warmer. Of course, if something happens that does not fall into the good news category and it merits discussion, we will not shy away. But as much as possible, we're going to keep it positive. Because I'm tired of all the negative news and finger pointing. Sometimes I think the media looks for the bad in order to get headlines.

You have to wade through the negative in this article, but let me summarize the good news reported in it.

1. As of the time of the article, they were within 20 feet of having the breech in the levy closed. They expected to have it closed by dawn this morning.

2. Jefferson Parish (Metairie) will be open to residents starting today and going through Wednesday.

3. The water is receding now.

4. Check out this heartwarming story of seven children being re-united with their parents.

And by the way, check out Survey Sez this week. Phillips, Craig and Dean are under 35???
