Thank God for the Internet

This is why the Internet is so special. In May 2007, my hard drive crashed, taking with it all my pictures from Hawaii ... or so I thought.

Earlier today, I was meeting with my new friend from NOLA.com, Milena Merrill. Milena asked me if I had a flickr.com account so I could load photos for my NOLA.com blogs. I told her no.

When I got home, I tried to get an account and was surprised when the site said I already had one. I indicated I had forgotten my password, and it was e-mailed to me. When I logged on, I found 17 of my favorite pictures from Hawaii. I hope you enjoy them; I just about cried!

The World is your Wide Web ... and use it to upload your pics! You'll be thankful if your hard drives crashes and burns.
