Land of Fruits and Nuts
A few weeks ago I met a girl who lives in New York. But her home is New Orleans.
Everyone presumed she was relieved about the fact that she’d moved away before Hurricane Katrina hit. The truth is that she hated “not being there” when devastation struck. Her heart is in New Orleans and she wanted to help people through their pain. To this day families are leaving the city in droves. She’s thinking of moving back.
I know exactly how she feels. It may sound crazy but if a big quake hit California there’s no place else I’d rather be. It’s my home.

Uh-oh, this doesn't bode well for the NoVA fans of Jenny... but ya gotta do what's best for you. Besides, it's always good to know people in CA, right?

I totally get this. I know several people who moved back home to NYC from across the country after 9/11.
