Happened to find your blog via "next blog" (Which I swear I should never do, but then you once in a blue moon can find a decent, real person blog.)

Glad you got out OK. I am from Milwaukee so I was interested in seeing your Milwaukee connections (Stritch, etc.)

The devastation in the South is simply impossible to fully comprehend. It's shocking. We are all praying for all you who were affected by it, especially those unable to get out in time.

Take care.

Happy Halloween

Today, I'd like to thank Marcia Baird and Frannie Glossen. Probably the strangest thing I'm doing these days has to do with garbage. As you may know, we are staying at someone's cottage located on the Lake. Since it is that kind of scenerio, there is no garbage pick up. I'm the one you'll notice lurking near any store's trash can. Each day I take a Target bag (or Walmart or whatever) full of trash, put it in my car and when I go to a store I take my trash with me and put it into the outside garbage can. SO the next time you are woofing about taking out the trash to your curb, trash shoot, or dumpster, just think of me. Do you know where You would put YOUR garbage?

Every day is fluid.

It's been over 2 months since Katrina changed the country. Have you been watching CNN? Today they visited Pass Christian, MS, the town where we were to vacation on August 29 (the day katrina hit). I can't imagine what would have happened had we followed the advice of the vacation property manager rather than our own guts and the news. The town is almost completely wiped off the map. OTHER PERSPECTIVES: Taking offense at comments by Gov Jeb Bush and because of numerous comparisons between our Louisiana experiences and circumstances in Florida or New York City, below is a list gathered from several sources that underscores the extent of the Katrina disaster compared to other hurricanes, including 1992's Florida Hurricane Andrew, formerly considered America's most destructive. All disasters are horrible, all hurricanes frightening, and each death is a tragedy in that family. Every effort to present an accurate picture was made, however one consistent problem has been an...
