"The scoreboard can't make you a loser. If you walk off the field with your head up, you don't lose. You don't hang your head for nobody. People in the stands . . . their opinion doesn't make a difference. The only opinion that makes any difference is your own opinion of yourself."

Dan Marino, Quarterback of the Miami Dolphins from 1983 - 1999
Just as parts of the Lower Mississippi River were showing signs of flood recovery, Category 1 Hurricane Barry made landfall in Louisiana on July 13. Later that day it weakened to a Tropical Storm as it moved inland and became a tropical depression on Sunday afternoon, July 14.
