And... now a word from Our Sponsor



Today I have little to say. Honestly, I'm overwhelmed with the chaos left by Katrina and the local effect it has on my little part of the world. All the gas stations have closed from 2 to 6 pm and some are rationing gas. People are filling up the tanks of their vehicles and other containers, therefore creating a local shortage. The doomsday criers and the conspiracy theoreticians are on their soap boxes, screaming the government is behind this...And I fight to stay my optimistic self.

And here you are, blog reader, looking for some witty shere-ism and I have none to give.

Only this and I've borrowed it from Freya Stark;

"There can be no happiness if the things we believe in are different from the things we do."

    This entire crisis has become frustrating to me, to see the people blaming the government, saying more should have been done... but all weekend long the warnings went out, I had CNN on then, they warned about the levees breaking down and the threat of water surges... and now the looting and the snipers shooting at the rescuers and helpers... it's embarassing, to me, not only to our country but to the world that people are behaving like they are... I understand the suffering going on, but people only act like animals if they choose to act like animals... ok, I've said my peace, sorry to rant here, hon

    it's ok to rant... we all need to do it more often, instead of waiting for a crisis... we are the voices of America and we should be vocal. The saying goes..."The squeaky wheel gets the oil."
