This blog is a collection of what goes through the mind of a father, a husband, a son, a friend, a lawyer (not your lawyer), and a storyteller, all competing for attention in my head.
The golden rule applies here.

Wednesday - Haiku day
Nature wreaked havoc On America this week Pray for our compats
Wendi, I can't authorize the wanton shooting of looters; crime to stop crime is still crime. However, I have little sympathy for the people SHOOTING THEIR GUNS at helicoptors trying to evacuate people from the Superdome. And if something were to, say... happen, when I was looking down tying my shoes, well then I wouldn't know, would I?
Gramma, there are a lot of places you can make donations. I would check with your local red cross, or go to www.KHOU.com, they should have info on what you could do to help.
For anyone that might want to donate clothes, I might suggest cool weather type stuff. I know Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama are on the gulf coast, but it still gets chilly, and most people aren't going to think about what these people need in 2-3 months.
I already have given to the Red Cross, and will be giving to the United Methodist Committee on Relief Sunday morning. I just wish I could do something personal that would touch a life...
