Heartache

I returned from my trip last week to face a storm. The bitch really was a doozy. We figured she would just spit on us and be on her way. I was happy that after a long trip I was going to get a 4 day weekend. She blew out power and phones and knocked down trees. I didn't have a thing. I wasn't prepared. I sorely underestimated the storm.

Then she rides in the Gulf and reeks havoc upon thousands.

I usually watch FOX. They are showing the looting - the laughing - the lawlessness. Watching that channel I had decided to let them all kill each other.

Animals.

The rapes, the murders - walking by the dead on the street without even a glance back.

But last night I watched CBS news. They showed decent people caught in the middle of the horror. Decent folks that are in desperate need.

Women with infants sobbing because they cannot feed their children. People making the trek for something that wasn't better then the roof that they were stranded on.

A picture of a woman sitting next to her dead husband who had been suffering from lung cancer had run out of oxygen.

A small girl sobbing over her mother who is passed out from heat, dehydration and exhaustion.

We can invade a country within hours. The floating medical hospital that the government has on the way....2 weeks.

Our company made a $2500.00 donation to the Red Cross yesterday.

I donated $100.00.

Since I feel those people have been abandoned by the government. I hope that my donation will help at least one person survive this horrible misfortune.

The people on TV are human beings. Someone's Mother, Father, Sister and Brother.

So - if you can...Please donate to the families that are just trying to survive.
