Katrina Aftermath Has Own Sense Of Self

One of the things I truly love about the human race is their ability to take the worst that the world can hand out to them and make fun.

Take the above example: using Katrina as an adjective... particularly the term "Katrina Patina." Great fun poked at a horrible situation.

I wouldn't be at all surprised to see the folks affected by Katrina holding on to those items with the Katrina Patina and passing them down to their kids/grandkids, with stories about how they and their families pulled through the storm and its aftermath and made New Orleans and the Gulf Coast fantastic places to live again.

Given the "help" they've had so far, I only hope they can.
