watching, waiting

we sit watching the news and waiting to hear estimates and hope. i’ve spent some time reading forums from across the south. it is rather depressing. southern mississippi and louisianna are obviously devastated. other areas are suffering too. one of my favorite vacation spots is dauphin island, alabama. while so much better off than any of the southern mississippi or louisianna cities, DI has a lot of rebuilding ahead. sad really. people all across the gulf coast will have to start over from nothing. they will rebound though and the rest of us will again boost their economy with our visits.

nasty day

hurricane katrina is devastating the coasts and working her way north. so much for any plans of visiting new orleans any time soon. fortunately the french quarter looks really good, unfortunately the same can not be said for other areas.

aub is sick today, the wonderful barking of croupe started about 1 AM. had to run to store earlier for miscellaneous items and meds. spoke with several people from new orleans. so sad. i feel horrible for them having to leave their homes and not knowing what has happened, or how much damage they will go home to.

looks like a long night of storms. time to get the dogs bathed and in.
