RIP New Orleans

Spend a moment today to be glad for whatever you have.

Send blood and money to relief agencies, not stuff that they have to move, sort, and distribute.

Let this be a lesson to us all about:

hurricanes
flood plains
mandatory evacuations
how fast people get crazy
taking care of ourselves and our families by being prepared
communications
the value and purpose of the national guard
presidents who cut funding for levees and army corps of engineers projects
guarding hospitals
what emergency shelters need
