On another level, I thought about the 1906 earthquake, and how it leveled San Francisco, and how they pretty much rebuilt the whole city within a few years. And I compared that effort to what's happened in New Orleans roughly 100 years later. The comparison isn't very favorable. Finally, I noticed that none of the cyclists in this film are wearing helmets. What were they thinking?!
