Back
Back to home base, the Drake Estate...(yeah...) after leaving the cities and to my Mom's for her birthday. Spent time with my fratello (brother) Pauli, a 'made man' in the Mafia. Should I be writing that?
I watched a lot of hurricane Katrina coverage and can only add that to those who criticize what they misperceive as a slow response by the Bush Administration don't fully grasp the enormity, magnitude and severity of Katrina.
While traveling between Friday and today I had plenty of time to listen to the truck radio. On Public Radio, of all places, one program had a review of the weather and warnings of how quickly Katrina was downgraded, and then how it intensified in a short amount of time. And that it unexpectedly - from previous tracking - went eastward.
The Salvation Army is accepting donations for hurricane victims. Other relief organizations are located HERE as well.
And by no means last, the The MDA Telethon kicks off tonight going into Monday, Labor Day.
If you're traveling over the holiday, travel safely.
