Decisions, decisions
Having mucho trouble choosing between SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE or the new Martha Stewart APPRENTICE tonight. What’s a shallow girl to do??? At least #5 has his evening planned — he’ll be watching LOST on the TV in our bedroom.
On a more serious note. . . Along with the rest of the country, we’re watching Rita’s path with held breath and many prayers. #1 recently joined the Nat’l Guard in Kansas, there’s some thought that he might go to the Gulf Coast, possibly even NO, for a couple of months. Now wondering if he’ll end up in TX, instead. If at all, as nothing had been decided when we last talked with him.
We donated both to the Red Cross and Animal Humane for Katrina, so we get frequent e-mail updates on their relief efforts. Animal Humane reports they’ve rescued more than 6000 pets so far, most of which are being housed in a single facility, and that 400 have been reunited with their owners. Unfortunately, however, they’ve been too late for many pets left behind, and haven’t been able to secure official government aid to help in the rescue effort. Individual Guardsmen, etc., have been assisting when they can, however, but without official sanction, they could be reprimanded for it. They desperately need more volunteers in LA to man that shelter, too — I’d be there in a heartbeat if I didn’t live hundreds of miles away.
I tell ya, though, I wouldn’t be surprised if Albuquerque has a sudden population explosion as storm-battered folks realize just how peaceful, weather-wise, it is out here.
