men from new orleans

About 30 minutes before the caffe closed last night, two men came in and asked if we had free wi-fi. Apparently they were at the library across street and asked for wi-fi set-up help and they were given a sheet of instructions that didn't quite make sense.

Anyway, John set up their newly-bought laptop for them and they got a strawberry bubble tea and enjoyed surfing the web for a while. Later they asked John if he could call for a cab. Before they left they told us they were evacuated from New Orleans because of Hurricane Katrina. One man told me about his 5 kitties that he was not allowed to take with him, and the other man was quiet and just listened.

I told the guy that a lady we work with at No More Homeless Pets in Utah told me about their trip to New Orleans to rescue kitties and that 90ish of the stray cats came to Utah to find good homes. I also told him that his 5 kitties may be with great families now and he seemed happy.

The men were really polite and they called me "miss" and John "sir," and they tipped John quite generously because John helped them set up the laptop and all. The men said they were happy in Utah. They were mellow and overall quiet, and content. I hope they are well.
