Katrina

A Yahoo news link today noted that we're in the midst of the five year anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. I thought about this, only because I met a very human Katrina earlier this evening.

The flesh-and-blood Katrina works as a pharmacist in a supermarket pharmacy. During our conversation this evening, she offered pleasant, even funny comments on my purchases and my observation of her first name.

Yes, people comment on her name, and she tried not to look annoyed or tired of the question. She didn't have a stormy personality, but I unfairly wondered whether her seemingly balanced disposition could suddenly, destructively change. That sort of act would have certainly been in keeping with her name.
