These mini observations are like Will Rogers finding his humor in the newspapers and the people who govern us. These observations are based upon the real people I see in our wonderful city, New Orleans. “Everything is funny as long as it is happening to someone else.” ― Will Rogers

I was driving to visit with friends to watch the Saint play the Buccaneers Sunday, when I saw two people cleaning graffiti from a monument on Jefferson Davis Parkway. I spun my little blue Angel Honda around to tell them thank you.
I met Pierre McGraw, the President of the Monumental Task Force, see link below. He and Linda were cleaning the "New World Order" graffiti stained in neon orange from the side of the monument base. The friend that I was going to visit has an aversion to these "vandals." Randy, the graffiti averse former student of mine, wants to tackle these "villains" and become the Monument Police. He warns me that I should keep bail money handy.
When I arrived at his beautifully renovated Gallery House in the Bi-Water, I happily told him that there was a team of volunteers whose task was to clean the hideousness from our city!
Thank you, thank you volunteers!!!
Please hold the hands of those so eager to write there sad messages upon the "subway walls and tenement halls." Simon and Garfunkel lyrics to" The Sounds of Silence"
