My obsession this week....

I can't take in enough hurricane Katrina info. It just makes me so sad. Everywhere we went on our vacation last year will never be the same again. I guess I should be thankful I got to see New Orleans and Biloxi at their beautiful bests. I just can't believe the devastation. I guess now that I've visited the gulf coast so much I have such a familiar sad feeling about the whole thing. I guess all I can do is pray that things will get better.

Utter Chaos

So yesterday my mother calls me and says that the gas pumps are running low and I better go get gas or else.....So after work I calmly proceed to the gas station where it looks as if people are certain that the end of the world is approaching. I remember as a child my dad telling me about the gas rations in the 1970's and how crazy that was but I had never seen anything like this. And grown men were filling up dozens of gas cannisters full of gas. I mean I studied economics in school and I know how our media likes to install fear and panic but this seriously beat all I had ever seen. I have never seen police escorting people into gas stations and I have never seen people waiting hours for a tank of gas. Unbelievable.
