Hometown Job Fair
Rainy Thursday morning at the county Civic Center outside of town. |
It's been a long while since I've been here; smaller than I remembered. |
Had to fill out an application to get admission to the job fair. |
For the county unemployment rate being so high (about 12 - 13%), it wasn't that crowded compared to the job fairs that I've attended back in Orange County. |
Anyways, don't know how serious I am about finding work in my old hometown but it's atleast good to consider other options I have. One of the headhunters suggested looking in the Olive Branch area where there are more technology based work (as opposed to the many of the hourly jobs here).

TS Isaac to sidestep Ms
Issac makes landfall - still dry in da Delta
Well, Hurricane Issac has made landfall and is pouring down rain all over the Gulf Coast as it slowly makes it way up Northerly on the 7th anniversary of Katrina. |

Before the storm
Starting our fishing earlier today. |
Stormy clouds overhead from Issac in the gulf. |
I missed a couple fishes, and Dad caught a 4.5 lb channel catfish. |
I finally hooked up a small gar fish which Dad tossed back into the pond. |
The stormy weather made for a nice sunset tonight. |
very scenic! |
Time to leave earlier today before it starts raining. |

Fishing Sunday
Went out to the farm when the afternoon started to cool down. |
In between my fishing, took some scenic photos. |
Interesting what you see along side the edge of the pond. |
Lots of big clouds and I could perceive the moon moving thru the skies. |
Saw a couple of these Crayfish holes. |
Finally started to fish for reals after missed a big fish earlier. |
Looks like a big "bell" in the sky. |
Hooked up my first fish since coming home, a 14" Gar. |
Caught my 2nd fish, a 1lb bass a few minutes later and then missed a small crappie. |
Right about then, a small helicopter flew over pretty low (about 200' off the deck). |
I released the boney Gar but kept the bass, Dad filleted my fish after I had cleaned it. |
there was enough fish to do the Chinese stir-fried style too... yum! |
Monster Cat!

I'm all serious about catching fish .... |
As usual, Dad was the only one to catch any! I had three really good hits but failed to hook up my fish! Oh well, there's always next time! |
